Our Mission
1 in 500 families are affected by Metabolic Diseases in the United Kingdom
|
Climb is committed to fighting metabolic diseases through research, awareness and support. We are the UK's only dedicated organisation to provide advice, information and support on all metabolic diseases to children, young adults, families, carers and professionals.
There are over 18,000 families affected by Metabolic Diseases in the UK over 38,000 throughout Europe and over 70,000 in the USA. Scientists throughout the world are very focused on discovering the causes of metabolic diseases, how they can be prevented and how current methods of diagnosis and treatment can be improved. The extremely vital work costs millions every year.
The research work that Climb funds is proactive, meaningful and occasionally fruitful.
Climb is a national organisation working on behalf of children, young people, families, carers and support groups affected by metabolic diseases (genetic disorders). We currently provide information, advice and support on over 730 metabolic diseases.
Your support - by donation, membership or legacy - will help us to tackle these devastating diseases which claim the lives of over 1500 children a year in the UK alone.
