Medical research charities are true lifesavers, improving the health and wellbeing of millions in the UK and around the world.
Their discoveries don’t just prevent, diagnose and treat diseases and conditions – they help shape public health policies, spark hope and expand our understanding of the human body.
At Yarn, we’re super proud to have teamed up with amazing medical research charities like Action Medical Research, Alzheimer’s Society and the MS Society.
Now, we’re excited to help even more charities share their stories, increase their income and make an even bigger impact.
How we work with medical research charities
When we work with a charity or not-for-profit organisation that funds medical research, we start by looking at what makes you truly unique – your mission, your brand, your research, and the people you aim to help.
In this discovery phase, we also take a deep dive into your brief, exploring your goals, identifying opportunities and spotting any potential challenges.
From this rock-solid foundation, our talented creatives get to work crafting authentic stories that resonate with your audiences and inspire real-world action.
With all our clients, we also go above and beyond to ensure every project is 100% collaborative, totally stress-free and a genuinely enjoyable experience.

Our projects for medical research charities
"The team were fantastic to work with, taking the time to fully understand our objectives and brand, and were flexible and responsive throughout the design process. We are very happy with the array of bold and engaging templates that we’re now able to use in a variety of ways across our social media. We’re already noticing the difference they are making to our both our engagement levels and the efficiency of our team output."
