Patient group funding
British Retinitis Pigmentosa Society (BRPS)
BRPS is a self help group which seeks to help its members live with and overcome their visual problems and to bring relief by stimulating research into the causes and eventually the treatment of RP.
We have supported this organisation since 2001.
During 2006:
- We gave a charitable donation of £129,500 to fund a three year research programme on the identification of novel genes causing retinal disease.
Our funding represents 22% of their income overall.
