Contact Us

The British Skin Foundation press office can be contacted for media related comments and information on skin disease, skin cancer and sun safety. If you are a journalist looking for information about a specific skin disease, please take a look on our A to Z of skin diseases list, as you may well find a lot of your answers there. 

We also have a number of case studies – people who are happy to talk to the press about their experiences with various skin diseases. If you have a skin disease and would like to share your story, click here.

The press office can be contacted on 0207 391 6347 or you can email bevis@britishskinfoundation.org.uk  

Please only call this number if your enquiry is related to the press and the media, otherwise contact the main BSF number on 0207 391 6341.
