Welcome to The Scar Free Foundation

We’re the only medical research charity revolutionising the way scarring is prevented and treated – for everyone – within a generation.

Since 1999, we’ve enabled over £50 million in pioneering research into wound healing, scar treatment and prevention, mental health support, and awareness.

Scars Are Permanent and Unavoidable.

Anyone can get a scar. Burns, blast injuries, and surgery for cancer – all can cause life-changing scars.

5 million people in the UK live with a life-changing scar, and all the physical and emotional problems that come with them. Scars can affect how you move, how you look, and how you feel about yourself.

Behind Every Scar There’s a Story.

Painful and debilitating, living with scars can mean years of physiotherapy, creams, injections, and surgeries. Learn more about the impact of scarring.

About Scarring

Research Can Stop Scarring.

For now, scars are permanent and unavoidable. But they don’t have to be. At The Scar Free Foundation, we’re working to revolutionise the way we prevent and treat scarring – for everyone.

By funding the right research and backing the brightest minds, we’re accelerating breakthroughs to improve the lives of people with scarring, now and in the future.

With your help, we can deliver new treatments to people who need them, faster. Together, we will achieve scar free healing within a generation.
