Bees ensure the maintenance of biodiversity and enable people to improve their livelihoods. Bees for Development Trust ensures beekeepers working in poor countries have access to the information and advice they need. For example, how to market honey, manage indigenous bees sustainably, or plant trees that are useful for bees.
We rely on oceans for sustenance, climate stability, and supportive biodiversity on sea and land. Without healthy oceans there would simply be no life on Earth. The Lewis Pugh Foundation is all about taking meaningful action to properly protect our oceans.
Our mission to improve the diagnosis, treatment and care of individuals with CACNA1C-related disorders including Timothy Syndrome and LongQT8. These disorders have a broad spectrum of cardiac and neurodevelopmental clinical features associated with changes in the CACNA1C gene which includes prolonged QT, structural heart disease, hypoglycaemia, developmental delay, incoordination, hypotonia, autism spectrum disorder, seizures, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, digestive issues, syndactyly and hip disorders amongst others. There are currently no treatment options. We raise awareness, promote relevant research, connect families and individuals with experts and researchers, provide CACNA1C conferences, information and education. We have a strong global support group offering emotional and practical support, helping to reduce feelings of isolation. We are driving research and clinical development through our worldwide CACNA1C Community registry.
