Who We Are?

RareQoL, a social enterprise, improves the quality of life for communities affected by rare diseases and underrepresented groups. Guided by the FREDA Principles: Fairness, Respect, Equality, Dignity, and Autonomy. We engage with our RareQoL Community to prioritise ethical and inclusive practices across all our work.
EDIRA (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusive Research Association), in partnership with the University of Chester, champions inclusive research that reflects all communities. We ensure underrepresented groups are part of research that impacts their quality of life.
