Skin Cancer UK
445 members
WE ARE SKCIN.· The UK’s national melanoma and skin cancer charity dedicated to raising awareness through education to promote the prevention and early detection of skin cancer, to improve prognosis and save lives. With 86% of all skin cancers preventable and early diagnosis vital, education is key to combating the soaring rates of skin cancer in the UK. We focus on pioneering, proactive intervention on a national scale with targeted, bespoke, educational accreditation programmes that are accessible, impactful and measurable. Our work supports the call from public health as to who is most effective to help improve the nation’s health, addresses concerns raised in the Government’s 2020 Skin Cancer Vision and helps combat the huge financial burden that is estimated, by 2020, to cost the NHS over £180 million annually. Together, we can make a difference and save lives.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa Support
661 members
The Hidradenitis Suppurativa Trust is a UK Registered Charity dedicated to the raising of awareness, understanding and support for the chronic, debilitating skin disorder Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). Hidradenitis Suppurativa is estimated to affect only 1% of the UK population, however these figures could in effect be higher due to mis-diagnosis, and those who suffer alone in silence, as the disease dominates the most intimate areas of the sufferer, thus leaving some people too ashamed or embarrassed to go to their doctor. Our aim is to increase public knowledge and educate the medical profession on the symptoms, treatments and severities of Hidradenitis Suppurativa, and to provide vital funds for the purpose of research into causes, prevention and treatment.
