The Albinism Fellowship is a purely voluntary organisation that aims to provide information, advice and support, for people with albinism.

  • A twice yearly newsletter.
  • Further information about albinism and related issues - please leave name and address on above telephone number.
  • A telephone helpline. Answerphone messages are returned either in the evening or at weekends.
  • Occasional regional meetings & social events.
  • A bi-annual national conference.
  • There is also a forum for questions and answers for members via the website.

The Fellowship also aims to raise positive awareness of albinism among the medical and teaching professions and through the media, primarily in the UK. The Fellowship's membership extends around the world and it has links with similar organisations in the USA and Australia for example. There is a small annual membership fee; contact the Fellowship for details.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
