We can’t thank our sponsors and donors enough for their support. With their help we conduct medical research that saves lives through improved healthcare, new technology and equipment.

In Kind support

• W H K Horwarth
• Volunteers (Friends of WIRF)  

At the very heart of the Foundation are our treasured volunteers. They all play a vital role by contributing their time to helping in the Café/Gift Shop, the WIRF office, knitting and sewing items for the Foundation’s shop and participating in research studies.

Our  Volunteer page provides more information about volunteering with WIRF.
