We have a long history of partnering with charitable trusts, foundations and major gifts of all different sizes and we are extremely grateful all the support we’ve received us over the last 30 years.

In the past 30 years, PSPA has received…
Important funding from charitable trusts, foundations and major gifts has enabled PSPA to provide support and information to people living with PSP & CBD while funding pioneering research into treatments and ultimately a cure for these conditions.
Funding can be donated to support our services as a whole or for a specific area of business such as our research programme or information services; depending on the interests and priorities of the trust.
Read examples of how charitable trusts and foundations have helped below.
SUPPORTING SERVICES
The Garfield Weston Foundation supported our 2005 to 2007 growth plan with a grant of £50,000. This significant funding boost helped us as we worked towards becoming a larger charity with a stronger voice nationally and internationally. We have since received a further three grants totalling £60,000 from the Garfield Weston Foundation – £30,000 of which was used to help set up our Helpline, Advisory and Volunteer Services project in 2012, and volunteer development was supported in 2015 and 2017 with grants of £20,000 and £10,000 respectively.
SUPPORTING RESEARCH
The Sir Samuel Scott of Yews Trust has a particular interest in supporting medical research. In April 1997 the trust awarded us our first five figure grant of £10,000 restricted towards our research programme. Subsequent grants from the trust have supported specific research projects including a genetic study into PSP (1998), a study into use of MRI scanning as a diagnostic tool (2002), and an investigation into the link between tau protein and PSP (2004). More recent grants have seen the trust continue to support research.
