Our natural choice — creating a healthy tomorrow.

We don't receive any government funding, so we rely on voluntary donations from people like you

Priority Projects:

One beneficiary is at the heart of The Sunflower Jam's wish-list for projects to be funded in 2011-12, the College of Medicine.

College of Medicine

College of Medicine's mission is to transform medicine by combining scientific knowledge, clinical expertise and the patient's own perspective to create a more holistic, patient-centred, preventative approach to healthcare. The Sunflower Jam will support by:

Providing funding for the College of Medicine to develop improved quality of primary and community healthcare based on using integrated, functional and natural healthcare strategies
Provision of a PhD open fellowship to the College of Medicine to consider how better integration of natural modalities might occur in mainstream healthcare in order to improve its effectiveness while also improving efficiency and reducing costs

National Health Service (NHS)

Sunflower Jam has a particular interest in helping paediatric cancer patients. Studies have shown that up to 50% of these patients use some sort of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) as part of their cancer treatment.

The Sunflower Jam aim to raise awareness within the NHS about the role of CAM in cancer care
The Sunflower Jam will fund an accredited functional or nutritional medicine practitioner to provide nutritional support in three paediatric oncology units to help child cancer patients whose families are supportive of using nutritional approaches as an adjunct to any other treatment

Other Projects

Independent funding to a leading UK university for research to evaluate the dietary, lifestyle and environmental factors that give rise to the highest quality of life and lowest chronic disease burdens
Independent funding for a UK university to review existing published and unpublished scientific data on the health risks posed by increased exposure to genetically modified organisms in the food supply. The review will be published in a leading peer reviewed scientific publication
