Small Acorns Fund

The Small Acorns fund is open to staff at The National Hospital and The Institute of Neurology. We always love to hear from staff from all departments who have a small project idea that they believe will bring benefit to neurological patients.

We are delighted to announce that, as we enter a new decade of Small Acorns, we have been able to more than double the amount of funds available to a total of £100,000 – so, if you have a small project idea that you think could make a big difference, please tell us about it by submitting an application.

Innovation fund

The National Brain Appeal’s Innovation Fund provides vital seed-funding for cutting-edge projects led by world-leading researchers and clinicians at Queen Square.

We open up applications to clinicians and researchers from Queen Square once enough funds are available to support a project (minimum £50,000). On average, this is once a year.
