Ways to give
Your support changes lives. As a non-profit, we rely wholly on voluntary income. We receive no state funding from any of the countries we work in, so your support is vital. Together we can make lives better for people living with pulmonary vascular disease...from diagnosis to treatment and, eventually, to cure.
Join our Breath Beyond Borders fundraising challenge this November!
This PH Awareness Month, we’re inviting you to join the global PVRI community for our very first Breath Beyond Borders fundraising challenge. Throughout November, PVRI members and friends around the world will be taking on personal fitness challenges — such as walking, running, cycling, speed skating, or even playing the piano — to shine a light on PH research and innovation, and raise funds for PVRI along the way.
Leave a gift in your will
A gift in your will could help us transform lives. It could help train a new PH specialist in an area where there are none. It could help us connect with regulators to improve the speed with which new treatments can reach patients. And it could fund life-changing research.
We understand that leaving a gift in your will is a very personal decision, and of course those closest to you will always come first. If, after looking after your loved ones, you would like to support us, we promise to treat you, your family and friends with respect and sensitivity. If you’d like to leave us a gift in your will, you will need to include this information in the legal document:
- Our full name: the Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute
- Our status: we are Registered as a Charity in England & Wales, number 1127115
- Our registered office address: 5 Tanner Street, London SE1 3LE, UK
You can check our details anytime on the UK Charity Commission website.
You can decide whether or not to tell us about your will, and we’ll respect your privacy if you choose not to inform us. And if at any time you change your mind, we will respect your decision.
- We will spend your gift wisely, and respect your wishes about how it is used
- We will hold any information you share with us about a potential gift securely
- We will comply with Our Supporter Promise
Please note – whilst we’re a global community, our team is UK-based, and we’re only familiar with UK law. If you’re thinking of leaving us a gift in your will, we would be delighted to discuss this with you, but we cannot provide expert advice.
Giving in memory
Remembering a loved one through donations in lieu of flowers at their funeral is a lasting way to pay tribute to a special person, whilst helping others. To give in memory of a loved one, you can ask your funeral director to arrange a collection at the funeral and share our details with them. They will arrange everything and pass your gifts to us.
Fundraise for us
Why not try a sponsored challenge event – a 5k run, a half-marathon, a Tough Mudder, a bike ride, a mini-triathlon, a fire walk or a parachute jump? If you’re in the UK and you need some ideas, there are plenty of sites that can give you some inspiration...
- Find a Race - Find 1000's of runs, rides, swims, triathlons & more
- Running Calendar UK for 2025
- Home - Action Challenge
- Challenge Family (challenge-family.com)
Or you could create your own fundraising event
- a bake-off or a workplace cake sale
- a silent disco or a karaoke night
- a guided walk – historic, artistic, literary, or haunted!
- a golf tournament or a scavenger hunt
If you don’t know where to start and need some ideas, give us a shout. We can help you set up an online fundraising page, provide materials and messages, and share ideas to make your event a success.
Donate to us
An easy way to donate to us is to click on the link in the donate box below, but if you prefer to donate offline, you can send a cheque to the Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute, 5 Tanner Street, London SE1 3LE, UK. If you live in the UK and are happy to gift aid your donation, please complete this Gift Aid Form and post it to us with your cheque. We are very grateful for all your contributions.
We want as many friends and family across the world to take part. So far, our combined efforts will take us over 2,394 miles (3,831 km) — further than the journey from Athens to Dublin, passing virtually through 12 countries: Greece, North Macedonia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, France, swimming across the Channel to England, through Wales and into Ireland (our virtual destination). If you’d like to join us, simply let us know your chosen activity and distance goal, and get training for November.
With your help, how many more countries can we journey through together?
Make a donation
Whether you make a one-off gift or a regular donation, your support matters. 100% of all donations will go to PVRI.
