Situation
Scars are permanent and unavoidable. Surgery for cancer, injuries from war, and accidents like burns – all can cause life-changing scars. In the UK, 5 million people live with problem scarring. Painful and debilitating, they affect how you move, how you look, and how you feel about yourself. Inside our bodies, scarring in the heart, lungs, and kidneys can be an invisible killer, causing 45% of deaths worldwide. We urgently need to find new ways to prevent and treat scarring.
Solution
Research can stop scarring. We’re funding a ground-breaking research programme to achieve scar free healing within a generation. By backing the right research and the brightest minds, we can deliver faster breakthroughs in research. Your donation will support people, projects and equipment with huge potential to stop scarring. With your help, we can invest in pioneering research and unlock the treatments of tomorrow. Together, we can prevent and treat scarring.
