It is National Storytelling Week and we would love to share your story!

We would especially like to hear from parents who have children with a visible difference.

We are here for everyone with a scar, mark or condition on their face or body.

If you are struggling with the emotional impact of a visible difference, call or message our Support and Information Line.

A woman in a nurse's top, wearing glasses with white hair tied up, applies skin camouflage products to a man's face. We can see the back of the man's head only - he has some stubble on his face and wears a shirt and a blue jumper.

Skin Camouflage can help to reduce the appearance of your scar mark or condition if you’re not ready to celebrate your visible difference yet.
