What is the name of J.K. Rowling's charity supporting multiple sclerosis research and care?

J.K. Rowling's charity supporting multiple sclerosis research and care is the Volant Charitable Trust.

Rowling established the Volant Charitable Trust in 1999. The trust has supported projects connected with multiple sclerosis, a neurological disease that affected Rowling's mother, Anne Rowling, who died from the disease in 1990 at age 45. This personal connection has been an important influence on Rowling's charitable work.

The trust has provided funding for research and support services, including work associated with multiple sclerosis organizations. Rowling also helped create the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic at the University of Edinburgh, which opened in 2013 and was named in memory of her mother.

The Volant Charitable Trust is distinct from Lumos. Lumos focuses on vulnerable children and family-based care, while the Volant trust is associated with charitable support for multiple sclerosis and other causes. The two organizations are therefore easy to confuse when discussing Rowling's philanthropy.
