Welcome!

The British Skin Foundation has been fighting skin disease since 1996. But we can't do this without you. 

We work tirelessly to raise money to fund research, so that we can find a cure for skin cancer and numerous other skin diseases, like eczema and psoriasis. To date:

Over £8 million has been awarded in research funding.

260 research projects (and counting) have received BSF support.

Our website is full of ideas about how you can help our cause, as well as information about skin diseases. 

We can beat skin disease together.
