DEBRA UK is the UK charity supporting people suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) – a potentially fatal skin condition that causes constant pain due to unstoppable internal and external blistering.- We fund pioneering research for symptom alleviation and, ultimately, a cure.
- We provide life changing care and support to the EB Community.
Cure EB
Cure EB exists to treat and cure epidermolysis bullosa, a genetic skin condition that leads to blistering and skin loss with the mildest friction. It is “Hard to say. Hell to live with” and children and adults with the condition live in constant pain associated with the burn like wounds that occur. The intense pain and repeated damage leads to progressive disability and severe forms are life shortening due to a particularly aggressive skin cancer that develops in early adulthood. We have a focus on accelerating research to cure all forms of EB. Research is targeted at gene modifying and corrective strategies that aim for translation into effective treatments and eventual cures. Our relationships with academia and research scientists, other non profits, foundations, companies and the biotech industry will help us achieve our goal.ActaDV

The British Skin Foundation are the only UK charity that raises money to fund research into all types of skin diseases, including skin cancer. Sixty percent of British people currently suffer from or have suffered with a skin disease at some point during their lifetime. Whilst some skin conditions are manageable, others are severe enough to kill. We are here to help change that by raising money for vital research to help find cures and treatments for common skin conditions like eczema or acne, through to potential killers like malignant melanoma. Founded in 1996, the British Skin Foundation has supported 400 research projects and awarded £16,000,000 in funding across all skin diseases. Whilst we are dedicated to raising money for research, we also aim to raise awareness of skin diseases in the wider community. We're committed to educating people about the different skin conditions, helping to reduce stigma and promote understanding. The British Skin Foundation receives no statutory funding and relies on completely on donations. Find out more about our research here.DEBRA of America

Our key activities are…- We provide care and support to improve the quality of life for individuals and families living with EB.
- We established and run the world’s first dedicated EB clinic, the EB Haus Austria: outpatient unit, research unit, study centre and academy.
- We fund excellent research around the globe to find effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for EB.
