Support from trusts and foundations makes a huge difference to the work of The Leprosy Mission. Over the years we have built many lasting and productive partnerships.

We also welcome the opportunity to work with new partners.  If you represent a grant-making trust or know of a trust to which we could apply, please email Trusts or phone 01733 404887.  We encourage visits to our Peterborough office and are also happy to travel to meet trustees.
