National Radium Trust

The National Radium Trust was a British quasi-governmental organisation[1], set up on 25 July 1929[2], and abolished with the introduction of the NHS in 1948[3]. It was intended to collect funding from the general public, and use it for supplying radium and other radiotherapeutic devices, to treat sick people in Great Britain.
