At Action Medical Research we are determined to stop the suffering of babies and children caused by disease and disability.
We know that medical research can save and change children’s lives. We have the flexibility to identify the very best medical research most likely to make this vital difference for sick children of all ages. Only a lack of funds will hold us back.
We are Action Medical Research, for children, for life – the leading UK-wide medical research charity dedicated to helping babies and children.
We want to make a difference in:
- tackling premature birth and treating sick and vulnerable babies
- helping children affected by disability, disabling conditions and infections
- targeting rare diseases that together severely affect many forgotten children
We do this by:
- finding and funding cutting-edge medical research across the UK most likely to
- deliver real benefit to babies, children and young people
- assessing the impact of the research we fund and sharing the results
- raising funds to make this vital research possible.

Action Medical Research has raised over £1,200 in the last year with Giveacar. It's such a simple idea and even our staff have got involved. Our Communications Manager, Claudine Powell, recycled her car for Action and recommends others do the same. "I searched for a reliable scrap car dealer online. When I found somewhere that sent the profits to charity, I thought that was great. Giveacar’s service was excellent. I filled in my details online and received a phone call an hour later. A local scrap dealer arrived bang on time the next morning and took the car away with no hassle. It made my life easier and raised £100 for Action. I would encourage anyone who has a car to get rid of to think about using this service. You can raise money for a good cause as well as helping the environment.”
