Our new vision

No More Broken Bones. No More Broken Lives.

The day your body betrayed you. The Christmas you couldn’t trust yourself to hold your own grandchild. The fall that turned you into an old person overnight.

Osteoporosis doesn’t just break bones: it breaks lives.

1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis. It’s one of the biggest hidden health emergencies of our time.

So much of this suffering is needless, and we won’t rest until everyone gets the support and care they need.

But we can only do it with your help.

In the videos below you’ll hear from Ann and Georgina. Ann’s life changed in an instant when she broke a bone picking up her kettle to make a cup of tea. She describes the excruciating pain she felt, the paralysing fear she has of breaking another bone, and the impact it’s had on her mental health.

Your gift today could support people like Ann and Georgina by powering life-changing research, getting people diagnosed and treated faster – so no fall ever becomes a life sentence.

It could introduce new services to help people who’ve just been diagnosed come to terms with the fear and uncertainty that they’re plunged into.

And it could make sure our specialist Helpline nurses, local support groups and expert resources exist for people feeling broken - by the pain, isolation and fear osteoporosis causes.

Demand for our vital services has never been higher.
