Help us to spread awareness by sharing your story

Would you be interested in writing a guest blog post for us? Some of our supporters and friends share their skin stories to help spread awareness.

Whether you are living with a skin condition or disease or you have been a carer for someone who has, your experiences are the reason we do what we do.

For some inspiration, take look at our previous skin stories
