About the Albinism Fellowship
The Fellowship is a positive and sociable volunteer-run organisation that aims to provide information, advice and support for people with Albinism and their families. We also provide information about the condition to professionals working with people with Albinism. All our Trustees are people with Albinism or parents of children with Albinism.
The Albinism Fellowship is a registered charity in England and Wales: 1196004 as well as Scotland: SC009443. The Albinism Fellowship was founded in 1979, by our late President Dr. W. O. G. Taylor, a retired Ophthalmologist.
