Friends of DEBRA groups are regional, family led groups who fundraise for DEBRA and raise awareness in their local communities. Each group looks after their own particular region and fundraise inspired by someone living with EB. The groups are vital to our work and provide an excellent base to spread EB awareness across the country. Meet our Friends of DEBRA groups below and see how they have been inspired to start their local group.
Every group is unique and has its own strengths: some will focus on regular but smaller scale events; some will hold larger but less frequent events; and others will base their fundraising on contacting local groups, schools, businesses and utilising their contact network.
We jumped at the opportunity to formalise our fundraising for DEBRA and set up a Friends Group. We've been supporting the charity for a number of years but were really pleased to have more autonomy and be the charity representatives in our area. We're particularly delighted that we have a say on what our fundraising goes towards. Friends Group Member
