You can support our runners by donating to our campaign and helping the NSPKU to reach our £10k campaign target. Donations will allow the NSPKU to continue supporting the PKU community through:

Education and Research: We work closely with a Medical Advisory Panel of expert clinicians and retain a specialist dietitian. We provide reliable dietary guidance, medical information and support research.

Support: We work to assist individuals and families through all stages of their lives. We provide a telephone helpline, online advice and a colour magazine to our members.

Community: We create a supporting and caring community for people affected by PKU through our annual family conference, regional events, youth activities and social media.

Advocacy: We are the voice of people living with PKU – with government, public, industry bodies and the media to represent the issues that matter to people living with PKU.
