About The Leanne Fund


Tags: Rare diseases Health & Medical Social Welfare & Support

​From our remote office base on the Isle of Lewis, The Leanne Fund has grown and evolved to develop a range of support services which are centred around the needs of the CF Community.

Working in partnership with the regional NHS CF Teams we are actively supporting individuals and families affected by Cystic Fibrosis across 11 NHS regions in Scotland:
Western Isles, Shetland, Orkney, Highland, Grampian, Greater Glasgow & Clyde, Tayside, Forth Valley, Fife, Lanarkshire and Ayrshire & Arran.

​There is no other Cystic Fibrosis organisation that provides the range of services we do.

Your Impact

"Many of our patients at one time or another have benefited from a Families in Crisis application. These applications we make on behalf of patients are processed with discretion and in confidence in such a compassionate manner. Although the financial assistance is hugely beneficial to the individual receiving it, individuals and their families will comment on the kindness and consideration that The Leanne Fund has offered over a telephone conversation." - CF Clinical Nurse Specialist, NHS Tayside.

"I just want to say on a personal note also thank you for everything you do for my family and continue to do to get us through this in our life. The Leanne Fund is an exceptional charity and I'm so grateful for you."

"The Leanne Fund is an excellent resource for children, young people and families affected by Cystic Fibrosis. They always go the extra mile to provide caring, compassionate and timely assistance to families."
