85% of people in the UK admit to getting sunburnt at least 3 or times in their lifetime.

BSF is the only national charity dedicated to skin disease research, they have supported nearly 300 research projects across all types of skin diseases including eczema, psoriasis and more.

The Charity gives grants to colleges across the UK for high quality research.

Why is the British Skin Foundation different?

The BSF is the only national charity dedicated to skin disease research and the only skin charity on Savoo. So far, they have managed to support nearly 300 research projects across all skin diseases as mentioned above.

Ways to show your support

If you are a business, nominate BSF for Charity of the Year and enhance your corporate social responsibility.

Take part in a physically challenging event such as running, cycling, obstacle race etc. If you are feeling adventurous and bored of standard racing events then try a Spartan Race!

If a university, consider organising a concert or band night – Gather those musically gifted to host an evening/day of music and charge an entry fee for attendees. Here is an idea - if held at a pub, or bar, ask the manager if they would consider donating a percentage of profits to BSF to generate extra funds.
