Part of the Bonnell mission, while doing these podcasts, is to raise awareness and shine the light on other Foundations who are also doing great things. Today we’re going to tell you about the CF Trust in the United Kingdom.

Belinda Cupid is the Senior Impact Adviser at Cystic Fibrosis Trust. For the past six years she has been a member of the research team at Cystic Fibrosis Trust, their work is making a big difference to people with CF and their loved ones

Belinda works with colleagues to explain research grants, to bring to life progress made and put cystic fibrosis research news in context.

Belinda does a lot. She collects, analyses, and interprets information on the impact of CF Trust-funded research. Her hard work helps Cystic Fibrosis Trust evaluate the outcomes of their funding and helps generate income to continue to fund cystic fibrosis research into the future.

Belinda completed her PhD in biological chemistry, she has spent the last 20 years working in medical research charities, supporting, and communicating research into motor neuron disease and cystic fibrosis.

She’s doing some pretty amazing work as you'll hear.
