Reply from Cure Parkinson’s
Our International Linked Clinical Trials (iLCT) initiative involves a committee of the world’s leading Parkinson’s experts gathering annually to review and prioritise potentially disease-modifying drugs and compounds for clinical trials in Parkinson’s. Some that are not prioritised however, often show potential for Parkinson’s but lack key background information, like further biological evidence of efficacy in Parkinson’s, needed to justify progressing these compounds into clinical trials for people with Parkinson’s. The iLCT Research Pipeline Acceleration Programme aims to quickly provide this background evidence by commissioning research to fill the knowledge gaps.
Doctor Poomman Thakur is the second recipient of the iLCT Research Pipeline Acceleration Program. His research will focus on the molecules probucol and chlorogenic acid to see if they have a protective effect on the dopamine neurones progressively lost in Parkinson’s. We hope to see a promising outcome and this further research is only possible thanks to donations such as yours.
With best wishes,
What is this all about?
Ten-Percent Legal, Interim Lawyers, and Jonathan Fagan Business Brokers donate 10% of annual net profits to charity via the Ten Percent Foundation, a charitable trust set up by our group of companies to distribute monies to charities in the UK and Africa. We have been doing this for over 20 years. The Foundation never incurs any administration costs (other than Triodos bank charges, which are minimal). All monies donated are distributed to charities and community organisations.
Why do we donate?
We set up our companies over 20 years ago with the intention of being ethical in everything we do. As part of this, we decided that a percentage of our profits should always be earmarked for charitable work and set the rate at ten percent. A sudden burst of inspiration meant we called ourselves the Ten Percent Group.
Nominations 2024
We received over 60 charity nominations from academic clients, business clients, locums, solicitors, transcribers (via our sister company TP Transcription Limited) and staff. We have a strict list of criteria concerning our donation available on the Ten Percent Foundation website. Donations tend to be within the range of £500-£2000 per charity per year. However, in the past, we have supported charities over a period of 5 years with donations going towards specific ongoing projects. We will publish the list of charities we donate to in 2024 shortly. It includes the Cure Parkinson’s Trust
