The Hepatitis C Trust (Scotland)
The Hepatitis C Trust is the national UK charity for Hepatitis C. It was founded and is now led and run by people with personal experience of Hepatitis C. Its mission is to reverse the rapidly increasing death toll caused by hepatitis C in the UK until no-one dies from this preventable and treatable disease and, ultimately, it is all but eradicated in this country.
