To celebrate 50 years of funding for the Pewterers Fellows, and to make sure we can continue the tradition for 50 further years we are raising funds. A small (but perfectly formed) team of Pewterers will walk 55 miles in the start of September to raise money to top up the trust and support the fellowship.

Researchers funded by the 500th Trust (the Pewterers Fellows) have worked on new treatments for epilepsy, cancer, dementia and other diseases that have devastating impacts. The fellowship funds young researchers just at the point where they become independent allowing them (often for the first time) to plan and lead their own research programme.
