Donate today & transform life for people with scars
The Scar Free Foundation is the only medical research charity dedicated to reducing the impact of scarring today, while working towards a future free from scars.
Since 1999, we’ve invested over £50 million in UK research that’s changing lives worldwide.
We know how scars change lives
In the UK, around 20 million people live with scars and for five million, those scars are life-changing.
Scarring can happen to anyone and can lead to lifelong trauma, surgery, and treatment – but scars remains under-researched and underfunded.
We improve care now and for the future
We unite leading clinicians, scientists, and people with lived experience, to understand scars, improve treatments, and reduce the lifelong physical and emotional impact of scarring.
Join our mission & change lives
With your support, we can raise vital funds, accelerate research, and help prevent scars limiting lives.
Let’s deliver breakthroughs to the people who need them most, faster.
Our Ambassadors
Our Ambassadors and their lived experiences are at the heart of everything we do.
Their insights shape our research strategy, ensuring we focus on the areas where people affected by scarring need support most.
