In a letter dated 18/12/2018, this charity stated: ‘We recognise that using human embryos is an area that some people have concerns about. We are currently in the process of reviewing our formal policy and it will also be shared on our website.’

‘We co-fund research with a number of different organisations, including the Medical Research Council (MRC), National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) and other charities. Some of these organisation have their own policies on supporting the use of research using human embryonic stem cells. … However, at this time we are not currently funding research of this nature, either on our own or in collaboration with other organisations.’ Member of the AMRC.
