Medecins Sans Frontieres

Medecins Sans Frontieres


Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is an independent international medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid in more than 60 countries. MSF has been working in conflict zones since our founding in 1971. From paediatric nurses to off-road drivers, our experienced staff are responding to complex and fast-moving humanitarian emergencies across 72 countries, including high-insecurity environments. We think fast, act fast and adapt to save lives.

MSF teams are working around the clock and across the globe in dangerous conflict zones. 

We triage trauma patients, carry out emergency surgery and deliver mental health support for people caught in airstrikes, shootings and indiscriminate attacks. But violence isn't the only threat to life. 

Conflict cripples a healthcare system, cutting people off from the vital services they need – medication for a chronic illness, vaccination against a childhood virus, maternity care for a young mother.

Registered Charity No. 1026588

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.  If there is a charity not listed that you would like to see here please email [email protected]
