Millions of people in the UK live with chronic pain every day. Will you help relieve the crippling pain of arthritis sufferers?

People with arthritis live with severe pain. Even just getting dressed can be an agonising ordeal. Yet we are still not sure how to manage it. Arthritis affects young and old alike. Joint replacement surgery can provide relief, but 15% of patients report persistent pain even after their operations.

Our ageing population and rising obesity will see an increase in arthritis over the next 10 to 20 years. The need to better understand arthritis and improve the lives of people who suffer from it has never been more urgent.

Fossil fuel power stations and other industrial sources account for more than 65% of global CO2 emissions

Will you help us reduce global CO2 emissions to protect our environment?

Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are expected to double by 2050. There are many challenges associated with developing renewable energy technologies that can meet global energy demands.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology captures CO2 from fossil fuel power stations and other industrial sources, separates it from other gases and feeds it via pipelines to deep offshore underground storage. CCS is critical if fossil fuels are to be part of any future secure energy supply.
