We are at a critical moment to invest in encephalitis research. In the first ever Technical Brief on encephalitis (funded by Encephalitis International), the WHO describes encephalitis as a:

“growing global threat" and "an urgent public health imperative.”

Cases are rising. New autoimmune types continue to be discovered, and infectious causes continue to spread.

Enabling research pioneers to connect with patients – the experts by experience – can save lives and rebuild futures. Your donation will help connect research pioneers with the people who know encephalitis best – the patients themselves.

We are committing at least £100,000 to encephalitis research in 2026, and we need your help to kickstart this vital work. Our goal for this appeal is to raise £30,000.

Progress is possible in the future of encephalitis research. The next discovery starts with you.
