The Haemophilia Society (THS) is the only UK-wide charity for everyone affected by a genetic bleeding disorder. They are free to join and have more than 5,000 members.

One in 2,000 people in the UK have a diagnosed bleeding disorder, including conditions such as haemophilia and von Willebrand disorder, that result when the blood cannot clot properly. As many as a third of bleeding disorder diagnoses have no known family history, which means a diagnosis can come completely out of the blue.

THS campaigns for what matters to their members, lobbying the government, the NHS and clinicians to demand excellent care and safe, effective treatment, which is available to all.

My Dad was a sever Haemphilliac and sadly passed away in 2015 from Hep C given to him by contaminated blood products when he was only 7 years old. It is important to keep the pressure on the government and NHS to keep standards high so this does not happen again.

All donations are the most appreciated!
