How to Get Involved

To secure the future of this extraordinary place and its powerful legacy, we are seeking partners, supporters and champions who believe in the power of science, education and global cooperation.

Your support will:

  • Safeguard the birthplace of one of the world’s greatest medical breakthroughs

  • Inspire future scientists, thinkers and health leaders

  • Tackle misinformation with evidence, openness and trust

  • Open the site to more people, more communities and more voices

  • Help position this site on the global stage as a beacon for public health and collaboration

Thank you so much for your support.

We have set an ambitious course to transform the birthplace of vaccination into a globally recognised centre for learning, dialogue and inspiration by 2030.

This date marks 50 years since the total eradication of the most feared of diseases, smallpox and it all began here, with Edward Jenner, the father of immunology.

We see Dr Jenner’s House as a place where history is not only preserved, but activated to meet the challenges of today: misinformation, declining vaccination rates and the urgent need for global cooperation.

To make this happen, we will restore and reimagine the museum, expand our award-winning education programme and create a trusted space for people to explore extraordinary Jenner’s life and legacy. We cannot do this alone. Help us carry forward Jenner’s spirit of curiosity, courage and generosity.
