The Wellcome Trust
Wellcome exists to improve health for everyone by helping great ideas to thrive.
We’re a global charitable foundation, both politically and financially independent. We support scientists and researchers, take on big problems, fuel imaginations, and spark debate.
Our funding supports over 14,000 people in more than 70 countries. In the next five years, we aim to spend up to £5 billion helping thousands of curious, passionate people all over the world explore ideas in science, population health, medical innovation, the humanities and social sciences and public engagement.
We work with academia, philanthropy, business, governments and civil society around the world. With this network of people and partner organisations, we can achieve more than would be possible on our own. We might not always succeed, but we are committed to being as daring, open and ambitious as we can be in our efforts to improve health and make life better.
