Mars Org. Ltd

Mars Org. Ltd is a registered charity in England and Wales, established in 2013, dedicated to providing expert medical advocacy and support to patients facing complex health challenges. Led by Chair Rabbi Hershel Grunfeld alongside trustees Pinchas Weinberger and Jacob Herzka, it embodies compassion, empowerment, and holistic wellbeing, advancing health, saving lives, and relieving poverty. Its distinctive approach emphasizes agile, personalized guidance to bridge gaps in the healthcare system, offering reassurance, second opinions, specialist access, and logistical aid without bureaucracy.

The charity funds targeted medical advocacy across conditions like cancer, rare diseases, complex surgeries, and chronic illnesses, supporting vulnerable patients, families, and minority communities hindered by cultural, language, or socioeconomic barriers. It backs direct individual services—such as treatment costs and advocacy—and grants to aligned small organizations delivering culturally sensitive healthcare, poverty relief, and gap-filling projects, prioritizing those overlooked by statutory services.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups operating in England and Wales, with a preference for small to medium-sized, resource-limited entities serving disadvantaged groups; no strict income thresholds apply. It does not accept unsolicited applications, instead responding proactively to referrals from healthcare professionals, casework, or partners. Grants are awarded on a rolling basis via trustee discretion, typically £2,000–£25,000 for organizations and under £10,000 for individuals, focusing on project-specific, emergency, or core support for high-impact health equity.

Distinctive for its deep medical advocacy expertise and intersectional focus on health, poverty, and marginalization, Mars Org. avoids statutory overlaps, statutory bodies, or unrelated causes, ensuring efficient, transformative aid to empower the most at-risk.
