Did you know that as well as the team based in our head office in Bracknell, we also have a dedicated DEBRA team based in Scotland?
The Scotland fundraising team are busy organising events throughout the year, whether that be the annual Big Sports Quiz Dinner, typically held in Glasgow and attended by Vice-President and Sporting Legend, Graeme Souness, or donning a kilt and joining a Kiltwalk in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, or Dundee spreading awareness about DEBRA and epidermolysis bullosa (EB).
We also have a dedicated person in Scotland to support people living with EB and their carers. We are the national charity for people living with EB in the UK and are committed to supporting the EB community with a range of services intended to enhance quality of life, whether they are members of DEBRA or not. However, becoming a member of DEBRA makes it easier to access our services and exclusive benefits, currently we have just over 150 members living in Scotland. You can apply to become a DEBRA member online, and membership is free; we’re here to support you.
If you are looking to get involved with any fundraising activities based in Scotland, or if you are a DEBRA member who would like to get in touch with the Community Support Team, please reach out to one of our team members below:

I joined DEBRA in April 2024 and come from a background of working with adults with disabilities for 10 years, firstly as a support worker and then with a specialist social work team. I hope to bring my experience of working with clients with a wide variety of support needs and understanding of the social and health care systems to DEBRA members in Scotland.

As a membership organisation, we aim to provide the best support and care for people living with EB. We have a team experienced in the many challenges EB can bring and can help members in many ways outlined below. We also forge close working relationships with specialist EB nurses, some of whom are funded by DEBRA, as well as other health and social care professionals to connect patients with the services that they need to improve their quality of life. Our friendly team are available to support members as frequently as is needed.
For EB patients and their families living in Scotland, specialist EB healthcare services are based out of the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow (paediatrics) and the Glasgow Royal Infirmary (adults). Read more
