NEC UK is the first charity in the UK exclusively for the condition Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC).
UK Charities General fundraising has been hit very hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of fundraising events have been cancelled and many charities, particularly smaller ones like ours NEC UK, are struggling to maintain services because of this huge reduction in income. This impacts all sectors of NEC UK’S Services.
NEC UK is a Parent Led Charity organisation and primarily offers support to families affected by the condition at any stage of their journey. In addition to family support our objectives are to support further research and studies into NEC, to raise awareness of NEC while also developing good relationships with experts, care providers and other organisations to give NEC a platform to be heard and improve the outcomes for babies affected by Necrotising Enterocolitis and their families.
Nobody quite knows the lasting effects of NEC on the body and brain. That is why it is vitally important we continue to raise awareness and support Research to develop a better understanding of Necrotising Enterocolitis.

Reading this piece about Lynne Mackie was genuinely quite moving, it really highlights how much impact one person can have within a community like London On Board. Even in a short tribute, you can feel the warmth and respect people had for her, which says a lot about the kind of environment the group fosters . It’s the kind of post that makes you pause a bit and appreciate those connections. Content like this also reminds me how people sometimes rely on support systems, whether social or academic, like rapid assignment help. In that sense, something like Rapid Assignment Help fits naturally alongside managing responsibilities while still staying connected to meaningful communities.
