British Liver Trust

Established in 1988, the British Liver Trust is headquartered in Winchester, England. It operates as a registered charity in England, Wales, and Scotland, focusing on liver health and disease prevention.

The British Liver Trust exists to support individuals affected by liver disease and to promote liver health. The organization aims to reduce the impact of liver disease through advocacy, education, and support services.

The organization supports individuals with various liver conditions, including cirrhosis, alcohol-related liver disease, childhood liver disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and viral hepatitis.

The British Liver Trust engages in several key activities:

• Advocacy for better liver health policies and practices.
• Educational initiatives to raise awareness about liver health and disease prevention.
• Direct support programs for patients and their families.

The organization provides a range of support services, including:

• Information hotlines and nurse-led helplines for immediate support and guidance.
• Consultations and educational materials to help patients understand their conditions.
• Workshops and webinars to educate and empower patients and their families.

The British Liver Trust has successfully merged with the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation to enhance support for patients and families affected by liver disease. It has also been instrumental in raising awareness through campaigns like "Love Your Liver" and advocating for early diagnosis and better nutrition policies.
