Foundation for Prader Willi Research UK (FPWR UK)

Eliminating the Challenges of Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) through the advancement of research and therapeutic development.


FPWR UK (Foundation for Prader-Willi Research UK) is a UK-based charity established in 2010, focused on funding research into Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). PWS is a rare genetic syndrome caused by missing information on chromosome 15, leading to symptoms such as insatiable hunger, behavioral issues, orthopedic concerns, and learning disabilities. In addition to funding research, FPWR UK is dedicated to raising awareness of PWS and collaborating with authorities and pharmaceutical companies to bring effective treatments to individuals with PWS. The charity relies on fundraisers and generous donations to support innovative research initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life for those affected by PWS and their families.
