Medicine is best served when led by research, supported by science and sustained always by compassion.

The trustees wish to advance our global knowledge of 'Food and Function'.

The trustees believe that medicine is best served when led by research, supported by science and sustained always by compassion. The Trust aims to improve the wellbeing of people with particular emphasis on food and function. This encompasses all gastrointestinal diseases but also undertaking studies reflecting how our bodies respond to what we eat.

The Trust seeks to encourage men and women of any age, particularly those based in South Yorkshire, to pursue research or educational activity in this field. The principal requirement and qualification of the candidate is to have the necessary drive, determination and ability to develop ideas.
