Every day, countless individuals around the world face the harsh reality of living without access to safe and affordable surgery. It is a staggering fact that five billion people are in this situation, and it is a gap that Mercy Ships is tirelessly working to close. Since its inception in 1978, Mercy Ships has made a profound impact by visiting over 70 countries, providing medical services valued at more than £1 billion. This incredible work has directly transformed the lives of more than 2.5 million people who have received essential surgical care.

We are deeply grateful for the support we have received thus far, which has enabled us to train over 38,000 local health professionals. This training ensures that our legacy continues long after we leave each community, empowering them to provide ongoing care and support.

Today, I invite you to join us in this vital mission.

Your contribution (no matter how big or small) will help contribute to my £100,000 target, allowing Mercy Ships to continue their work and bring hope and healing to those who need it most. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of many who are waiting for their chance at a healthier future.
