We are the UK's leading Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) charity. We're connecting scientists, industry, the NHS and families to accelerate research and bring the best care and treatments to everyone affected by DMD.
We need to go further than anyone has before to find effective treatments. This means setting our ambitions high and overcoming every barrier in our way.
We’re going to do it faster, because this generation of people living with DMD can’t wait.
The only way we can achieve this is together. We create a network of mutual support for families. We collaborate with scientists and the pharmaceutical industry, bringing them together to share knowledge. And we work with health services so that patients get the care they need.
Our Duvet Days campaign is the cosiest and easiest way to raise money for Duchenne UK!
Join us to snuggle down and #DuNothingForDuchenne this October!
We are holding a new conference for the DMD community in London from 1-2 March 2024.
Called New Horizons, the conference is for parents, family members and caregivers, and those working to help people with DMD.
Join our mission to fund life-changing DMD treatments by fundraising, donating, or joining an event.
Duchenne UK is collaborating on a project to improve DMD care throughout the UK by providing clinical recommendations.
We fund the DMD Hub to bring more UK patients the opportunity to take part in clinical research.
