The Hepatitis C Trust

The Hepatitis C Trust is the national UK charity dedicated to the elimination of hepatitis C as a public health threat by 2030. Founded and led by individuals with lived experience of the virus, the organization focuses on patient support, public awareness, and high-level advocacy. The Trust operates a national helpline and extensive peer-led outreach programs that facilitate community testing and linkage to care, particularly for marginalized populations. They collaborate closely with NHS England and pharmaceutical industry partners to optimize patient pathways and ensure access to curative direct-acting antiviral treatments. Their work is central to the UK's strategy for achieving the World Health Organization's viral hepatitis elimination goals.
