The Leprosy Mission

The Leprosy Mission Great Britain (TLMGB) is a Christian organisation and member of the TLM Global Fellowship: a federation of leprosy-focused NGOs with a 150-year-old history of working at the grassroots to transform the lives of persons affected by leprosy and bring an end to this ancient disease. 

We implement our work through partners (members of the TLM Fellowship, Organisations of People Affected by Leprosy (OPLs) and others), with whom we share common values. 

At The Leprosy Mission, we are dedicated to creating a world where leprosy is no longer a barrier to health, dignity, or opportunity. Through collaboration with governments, partners, and grassroots organisations, we work to influence policies, systems, and attitudes.

We believe that those with lived experience must be at the heart of these efforts, shaping decisions that impact their lives. That’s why we train, support, and empower individuals and communities to advocate for their rights, ensuring they have the skills and platforms to share their expertise. 

By building capacity, fostering inclusion, and championing change, we strive for a future where everyone can access healthcare, equality replaces discrimination, and individuals have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
