Objectives

The National Migraine Centre exists to help the nine million people in the UK affected by migraine.

The charity was founded in 1980 to provide treatment to those affected by migraine and other primary headaches, to share skills and train professionals, to conduct and promote research, and to improve self-management.

Neither private nor within the NHS, we remain the only charity in the UK dedicated to delivering treatment for those affected by headache. 

Our charity brings together some of the world’s most renowned headache clinicians, including leading consultant neurologists and GP headache specialists who support the charity in both governance and patient-facing roles.

Activities

The National Migraine Centre is the UK’s only charity providing diagnosis and treatment for the one in seven people who suffer with migraine. Over more than four decades, our world-class consultant neurologists and GP headache specialists have helped more than 64,000 people to access effective treatment. Our dedicated team also leads patient education projects, including the award-winning Heads Up podcast, alongside professional training for clinicians and research into new treatments.
