The Aplastic Anaemia Trust (AAT) is the only charity in the UK which is focused on providing everyone affected by aplastic anaemia (AA), a rare illness of the immune system, with information, patient and family-focused emotional and practical support. It is committed to research, so that treatments and care are improved, and a cure can be found.

We have productive working partnerships with major research centres of excellence, raise much needed funds for research, and engage with the expert community in the UK and internationally. Building and maintaining important relationships is crucial to raising and maintaining our profile. We continue to recognise the importance of our focus on supporting patients and families to help them cope with and manage AA and improve their quality of life.  In the last two years we have seen a significant growth in the numbers of people contacting us.

As we receive no government funding, all that we achieve is made possible through the generosity of our supporters and donors.

Our current CEO, having successfully delivered a modernisation programme, is leaving the AAT for pastures new.  We now have a solid foundation for the future of the AAT and its continued growth. We seek to appoint another highly successful, committed and inspiring leader.
