The Migraine Trust

Who we are

The Migraine Trust is dedicated to helping people affected by migraine. We are the only UK migraine charity providing information and support, campaigning for awareness and change, and funding and promoting research.

One in seven people in the UK live with migraine, and this complex and debilitating neurological disorder significantly affects their lives. We have been leading and bringing the migraine community together to change this since 1965.

Every year over two million people visit our website and thousands contact our helplines for information and support on all aspects of migraine and for help in managing it at work, in education, and in accessing healthcare.

We campaign for increased awareness and understanding of migraine, and national policy change to improve the lives of people who get it.

We have funded over 140 medical research projects and hold an international symposium every two years to bring together the world’s leading experts on migraine.

Our culture and values

All of our decisions and actions are guided by our values:

• People first: The needs of those we work with are central to everything we do

• Evidenced: Every decision we make is evidence based and supports the change we need

• Ambitious: We strive to achieve more than we could imagine

• Collaborative: By working together we can achieve so much more

• Empowering: We build confidence to achieve positive change

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The Migraine Trust is committed to embedding equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in every aspect of our work. Our EDI mission statement and policy describe how we do this.
