TB ALERT
TB kills 1.5 million people around the world each year – it kills 200 children a day and orphans 9.7 million a year. Tuberculosis commonly affects those living in poverty or with poor immune systems and is the largest killer of people with HIV. Yet TB is curable. Lack of awareness, poor access to treatment and stigma are major contributing factors to people dying needlessly from tuberculosis.
TB Alert is the only charity that focuses on TB both in the UK and overseas – in India, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi. We work with local non-governmental organisations to raise awareness of the disease amongst communities and medical professionals; provide information on how and where to get tested and receive their life-saving treatment; and advocate for better resources and policy to improve patient care, and to prevent and control TB. Our mission is to increase access to effective treatment for all and our vision is the control and ultimate elimination of TB.

Which charities can I support?
Donations can be made to any national/local charity or recognised good cause such as schools and scout groups.You might choose to donate to BT’s own charitable initiative, the BT Supporters’ Club, which seeks to transform the lives of young people through sport. Or you could choose to support one of our charity partners; Comic Relief, BBC Children in Need, ChildLine or Disasters Emergency Committee. Some people choose to support local causes like churches, hospices, schools or animal welfare schemes. Whatever charity you choose to support will receive more money through Payroll Giving than if you were to donate to them directly.
You can nominate more than one charity to benefit from your donations - and you can easily change the amount or nominated charities at any time. If your chosen charity is not listed on this site you can still support them but please include the charity number so there is no delay in forwarding on your donation.
