Corporate partnerships

Corporate partnerships play a vital role in the journey to #StopThePain of EB.  A corporate partnership with DEBRA can be strategic and transformational for your company and DEBRA, engaging your workforce and helping your company achieve your ESG goals.

Together we can make today better for people living with EB and provide hope for a future free of pain.

In 2023 we need to raise:

• £3m to accelerate our drug repurposing programme, which will involve testing drugs which already successfully treat other inflammatory skin conditions such as Psoriasis and Atopic Dermatitis. These drugs are already available within the NHS, and we believe they could be effective in slowing, stopping, or reversing, the progression of EB.
• £1m to fund life-changing treatments including eye lubricants, oral sprays, and topical treatments that are applied to wounds, all of which could radically improve quality of life for people living with EB.
• £1m to enable DEBRA to continue to provide EB community support and healthcare whilst we seek effective treatments. 

"Support from DEBRA has helped us in our everyday lives from the very beginning of this journey. DEBRA gave us access to specialist advice and care for Isla, someone to talk with, some of the answers and much welcomed support, both practical and emotional.

I know that Isla wants what we all want: a life free of pain.  A life free of the fear that EB will continue to devastate her increasingly fragile body.  She has told me this, and it was hard to hear but impossible to ignore, and that we must continue to Fight EB.”

Help Us Change Lives

Corporate giving primarily will make a demonstrable, tangible difference by providing key funds for four areas that are vital to people living with EB.

Research

Pioneering research to find effective treatments, including drug repurposing, and ultimately cure(s) for EB.

Community Support Team

Care and support to improve the quality of life for individuals and families living with EB.

Respite

Through member access to heavily subsidised DEBRA holiday homes across the UK.

Healthcare

DEBRA funds EB partnerships with the NHS.

 

Why now?

We live in an era of enormous scientific and medical innovation, which has created real opportunity for breakthroughs in EB research into future treatments, but these treatments are needed now; patients living with EB can’t wait, they need effective control of symptoms, better quality of life, and real hope that a cure will be found soon. With your help we can accelerate the pace and breadth of our research into treatments and together we can achieve this ambitious and essential journey to change lives and end suffering.
