Orchard OCD is very pleased to be receiving funding from the Bally’s Foundation for a two-year project to build an international registry of OCD patients. Registries are crucially important for medical research as they can accelerate recruitment into clinical trials of potential treatments and increase our understanding of a disorder such as OCD by asking patients to report their symptoms and current treatments.

The Bally’s Foundation was founded in February 2020 and is funded by the Gamesys Group; the funds come from both corporate contributions and employee initiatives. The main focus of the Bally’s Foundation is to preserve and protect the wellbeing of individuals suffering from mental health issues. They do this through providing grants and funding to organisations who care for these individuals directly, as well as those who focus on research in the mental health field.
