The Fund
For more than 16 years, The Leanne Fund has been providing unique, personalised support to individuals living with Cystic Fibrosis and their families.
Following a successful Big Lottery bid in 2016, The Leanne Fund became an employer and expanded its services from Highlands & Islands to support people with CF across Grampian. In 2019, our reach grew again to include NHS Tayside, followed by further expansion into Greater Glasgow & Clyde, Ayrshire & Arran and Lanarkshire in 2023.
In 2025, we reached a landmark moment in our journey, expanding to every NHS Board region in Scotland. This means that every baby diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis anywhere in Scotland can now access the support of The Leanne Fund and our specialist services from the very beginning of their journey.
From the moment of diagnosis, and throughout every stage of life, our goal is to ensure that no one living with Cystic Fibrosis, and no family supporting them, has to face it alone.
From the Highlands to the Borders, from the Western Isles to the city centres, The Leanne Fund is here for everyone living with Cystic Fibrosis in Scotland, whenever and wherever our support is needed.

Our Volunteers
Meet some of the amazing people at the heart of our organisation who freely give their time on a regular basis, bringing a huge wave of support to all our events and fundraisers. Armed with new ideas and bucket loads of enthusiasm, they are our representatives in local communities.
Our volunteers are essential to everything we do!
"I enjoy being a volunteer for The Leanne Fund. It gives me a lot of satisfaction to know that the contribution I make can in some way help young people that suffer from Cystic Fibrosis and their families.
I have been volunteering for a few years now and in that time have met many other volunteers with the same interests. Good friendships have been formed and continue to grow each time we meet.
To me volunteering is a two-way street. By giving your time and talent to help others you in fact gain more i.e. sense of purpose, new friendships, happiness, and a sense of community."
"Giving time to a charity like The Leanne Fund is a investment that guarantees someone else's life will be made better because they are focussed and dedicated to their vision."
"The Robertson family decided to become fundraisers for The Leanne Fund back in 2017 when our son received support from the charity.
After the sad loss of him in 2018 I received support through their Counselling fund, and it was then that the whole family was 100% behind me to carry on and raise awareness of CF and The Leanne Fund.
We have taken part in 3 Kiltwalks, held raffle draws and continue to hold prize bingo nights most months and all proceeds go to The Leanne Fund.
My daughter's & grandchildren are superstars in supporting me with all I do, but most of all I thank my husband as he puts up with all the bingo prizes I purchase.
The Robertson family will continue to raise awareness and funds so this fantastic charity can continue their work."
"I think supporting anything local is important and doubly so when it is a charity. The Leanne Fund team is warm and friendly, making volunteering a special experience."
