Fighting mitochondrial disease together

Every other day in the UK a baby is born who may develop serious mitochondrial disease – a life-limiting condition with no cure and very few effective treatments. At The Lily Foundation, the UK’s largest mitochondrial disease charity, we’re determined to change this. Together with fundraisers and supporters like you, we’re making a tangible impact by funding mitochondrial disease research, providing essential support and raising awareness to create a brighter future for everyone affected by this inherited condition.

See how you helped to make a real difference last year with The Lily Foundation Impact Report 2023/24. Read stories about our supporters and patients and take a look at some of the truly life-changing research projects we've helped to fund.
