Bright Red Charity is a Newcastle-based funder focused on improving treatment and quality of life for people in the north of England affected by blood cancer, especially through haematology services and research. It supports both direct patient care needs and the medical workforce behind care delivery, while also backing early-career researchers and small research projects in haematology and allied specialties. The charity appears highly regional and specialist, with grants that are practical, clinically oriented, and often tied to NHS wards, research training, or targeted patient support.
Makes small to moderate, highly targeted grants through named programs; awards include one-off patient assistance, modest facility and staff support, research fellowships, PhD co-funding, and discretionary research grants up to about £30,000. Funding is largely place-based and program-specific, with support directed to North of England hospitals, trainees, and researchers rather than open-ended general operating grants.

Prioritize proposals that clearly improve blood cancer care, haematology services, or research capacity in the North of England. Applicants should align closely with one of the charity’s named schemes, emphasize patient benefit or clinical impact, and note that research support is geared toward trainees, PhD students, and small project/start-up needs rather than large-scale infrastructure. For patient care or ward-based support, demonstrate immediate practical need and measurable benefit to patients and staff.
