Restoration of Appearance and Function Trust
Rebuilding lives after Trauma
Help us keep developing Pioneering treatments to restore patients’ quality of life that have suffered physical trauma.
ABOUT US
RAFT is a medical research charity founded in 1988 by four plastic surgeons, Roy Sanders, Brian Morgan, Douglas Harrison and Paul Smith who were dismayed at how long it took for scientific innovations to filter through to patients. Working with burns patients, they believed there was so much more that could be done and so, decided to invest their own money to change the situation.
