Welcome to The Skipton Fund
Skipton Fund website update – Data transfer to IBCA
Prior to 2017, people who were infected through contaminated NHS Blood or Blood Products received government financial support in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland provided by five organisations known as Alliance House Organisations. These were
- Skipton Fund Ltd
- Macfarlane Trust (MFT)
- Eileen Trust
- MFET Ltd
- Caxton Foundation
From 2017, the Alliance House Organisations closed, and support has since been provided by the Infected Blood Support Schemes across the UK.
The historic data from the Alliance House Organisations has since been kept by Skipton Fund Ltd.
From 14 October 2024 the data has been transferred to the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA). IBCA will need this data to make compensation payments to those who have been infected and affected by infected blood or blood products. Following the regulations set out by the UK Government, it is now getting the new compensation service ready as quickly as possible.
If you wish to request access to historic information from the Alliance House Organisations and/or seek compensation, please contact IBCA using the contact details below:
