Find A Cure

Beacon for Rare Diseases, formerly known as Findacure, is a UK-based non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the rare disease landscape through drug repurposing and patient group empowerment. The organization acts as a catalyst in the life sciences sector by bridging the gap between patient communities, academic researchers, and the pharmaceutical industry to identify existing medicines that can be repurposed for rare conditions. Beacon provides training, networking, and collaborative platforms to help small patient groups become research-ready and professionalized. Their flagship initiatives include the RareRepurposing Partnership and various social impact investment models designed to fund clinical trials for neglected diseases. By focusing on drug repurposing, Beacon aims to deliver faster, cheaper, and lower-risk treatments to patients who currently have no therapeutic options.
