Be a Lifeline: Support Families Living with Rare Diseases in NI
Imagine facing a condition that few understand, where answers are hard to find, and support feels scarce. This is the reality for many individuals and families living with a rare disease in Northern Ireland. At the Northern Ireland Rare Disease Partnership (NIRDP), we’re dedicated to changing that. We believe that no one should walk this path alone. Our mission is to provide unwavering support, a powerful voice, and real hope. Through education, advocacy, and working together, we strive to create a brighter future, ensuring everyone has access to the care and resources they need. Your kindness can light up lives – give what you can today.
What Your Donation Achieves:
Your generosity directly fuels our vital work:
- Providing a Community of Support: We’re here to offer a helping hand through our helpline, email, and face-to-face support.

And we’re expanding our reach with new drop-in clinics across Northern Ireland, bringing support closer to home.
- Empowering Through Education: We’re passionate about equipping parents and children with the knowledge and tools they need. We work tirelessly with the Education Authority to improve policies and create a more supportive system. We also build strong partnerships with other organizations, ensuring families have access to a wide range of expertise.
- Driving Change Through Advocacy: We’re a strong voice for the rare disease community, raising awareness and pushing for better healthcare. By collaborating with local, national, and international partners, we maximize our impact and create lasting change. We also value our Corporate Council and pharmaceutical partnerships, working together to secure vital resources.
