St Mark’s, Caring with Guts since 1835
St Mark’s Hospital Foundation is the only charity dedicated to funding groundbreaking research at St Mark’s Hospital and supporting the training and education of its medical professionals. By donating today, you’ll help St Mark’s continue its vital work; caring with guts for the thousands of individuals affected by complex bowel diseases.
And there’s more—thanks to the generosity of our matched funders, your donation could be doubled, making an even greater impact!
Your Support Makes a Difference
Together, we are making a difference, but we must do more. Bowel disease is impacting more lives. By supporting us, you enable St Mark’s to:
- Advance cutting edge treatments, like those offered through St Mark’s Surgical Robotics Research Programme, which is setting new standards in minimally invasive surgery.
- Build essential resources, such as the St Mark’s Tissue Bank, a unique asset for groundbreaking studies into bowel disease.
- Expand St Mark’s impact globally, by educating and training medical professionals in clinical best practice which, in turn, is helping patients to thrive beyond their diagnosis.
By supporting St Mark’s, you continue a legacy of giving that began with the novelist Charles Dickens and that has helped to transform countless lives. This seasonal period let’s gift even more patients the hope of a future where bowel disease is preventable, treatable, and ultimately curable. Together, let’s end bowel disease for good.
