In 2024 the British Liver Trust merged with the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation. By combining the strengths of two powerful organisations, the British Liver Trust is now uniquely positioned to support adults and children affected by any liver condition.
At the heart of the Trust’s work is a commitment to empowering patients with clear, trustworthy information. Its nurse-led helpline is a vital lifeline, providing expert guidance and a listening ear to thousands of families navigating the complexities of diagnosis and treatment. This is supported by a comprehensive library of resources and a vibrant online community, ensuring that no one has to face their journey alone.
Beyond patient support, the British Liver Trust is transforming the future of hepatology through education and research. It works tirelessly to upskill healthcare professionals, championing best practice to ensure that every patient receives high-quality care, regardless of their postcode. The charity is also a major driver of medical innovation, funding pioneering research into early detection and new treatments, while campaigning for policy changes that address the root causes of preventable liver disease.
“The British Liver Trust was my anchor when everything felt like it was drifting away. The nurse I spoke to didn’t just give me medical facts; she gave me hope and the practical tools I needed to take control of my health.”

Through its ongoing commitment to improving the patient experience and supporting healthcare professionals, the British Liver Trust strives for a future where early diagnosis is the norm, treatments are effective, and every liver patient lives a life defined by possibility, not limitation.
