Help the great actor Alan Rickman, who played Snape in Harry Potter and many other leading roles, save lives!
The Alan Rickman Professorship crowd funding campaign aims to raise £5 million to fund in perpetuity an outstanding, internationally recognised, research-active Facial Surgeon who will lead the National Facial, Oral and Oculoplastic Research Centre (NFORC).
Join the million people who will donate a sum of money they can afford without hardship (at least £5) to help us reach this target.
Help spread the word and contact all your friends and family to do the same.
Take pride in honouring the name of this great actor at the same time as helping research that will save and improve lives of patients all over the world.
Surgical research to improve treatment of facial disorders and injuries is essential. But despite the vast number of people with facial problems research funding to improve treatment is pitiful.
Help us spread the word on social media!
On the Saving Faces socials, we will be posting more images of Alan, and other content such as images/videos of clinicians and patients that demonstrate the need for this Professorship. We would be grateful if you could follow our social media channels and share, comment and like our posts. We will be posting nearly every day from the 1st October to the end of the year.

Alan Rickman was the finest of actors and human beings. He was a great companion on and off stage and immensely supportive of all actors, especially if their work was adversely affected by diseases altering speech and appearance.
He became a great supporter of the surgical research charity Saving Faces and recognised the urgent need for a Professor to lead research that will improve the treatment of these life altering conditions. He matched this belief with a bequest to start the fund-raising campaign for this Professorship.
I hope that many people around the world who loved his work will honour his name and make a small donation to help his wish come true.
