From now until midday 5th December, all donations to the Scar Free Foundation via the Big Give website will be doubled. Turn your £10 gift into £20 – one donation, twice the impact.

20 million people in the UK have scars. Your gift will help speed-up research and find new treatments that slow, stop or even reverse scarring.

Aleema was only 12 when her hair caught fire, leaving her with 55% burns and a 10% chance of survival. The incredible care she received from burns specialists saved her life. Six years later, her scars affect how she moves, how she looks, and how she feels:

“I have had countless painful surgeries and physiotherapy sessions, including skin graft surgeries and an operation to enable me to hold objects – where they removed my toe and gave me a thumb. I wear specialised garments and have medication to help me adapt to normal day-to-day living. Every day, I must do nebulisers, humidifiers, pressure garments, splits, creams, medication and much more.  

 I’ve had hundreds of surgeries, and will hopefully have more in the future to help with the function of my scarring. But the thought of not having to have any more surgeries – for my body to have healed scar free – that truly is incredible.” 

A world without scars is within our grasp. The Scar Free Foundation is the only charity dedicated to scar free healing. With your support, we can fund new research that makes life better for people just like Aleema and prevent scarring in the future.
