The PBC Foundation (Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Foundation) is a UK charity, established to provide help, support and information for sufferers of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), their families and friends. Information comes from a team of medical advisors who are top PBC specialists in the UK, also from the Foundation's information booklet and a quarterly newsletter 'The Bear Facts'. The Foundation's aims are not only to educate those affected by PBC, but also the general public and general medical profession.

There are 30 regional co-ordinators throughout Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland who supply help and support at a local level. These co-ordinators also provide telephone helplines and many organise events to keep in touch with members and raise money for the Foundation.

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.
