Duchenne UK is a UK-based non-profit dedicated to funding and accelerating the development of treatments for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe, progressive muscle-wasting condition that predominantly affects boys and typically begins in early childhood. In the UK about 2,500 people are affected, with roughly 300,000 affected worldwide; the charity works to advance research, support families, and improve care as new advances emerge. Based in London, the organization operates within the non-profit and medical-research landscape, aiming to connect science with patient needs. A recent development includes a partnership formed in early 2026 with Fox Payne Associates Limited to support the Ben vs Duchenne Family Fund.
