Gifts to LSHTM touch every aspect or teaching and work, from providing scholarships and bursaries to students, to advancing research through the creation of new academic posts and facilities. Your help has also been vital in delivering our response to the COVID-19 outbreak. It demonstrates what can be achieved when we unite around a cause.

Social distancing is a difficult adjustment and is negatively impacting mental health, particularly in young people. The COVID-19 Response Fund is supporting a project led by Rebecca Meiksin, a Research Fellow in Social Science at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), implementing research insight to raise awareness of the challenges and stresses of social distancing.
