As a registered charity, DEBRA can claim back an extra 25p on every £1 donated through Gift Aid. To claim Gift Aid your sponsors must be UK tax payers and they will need to record their home address, postcode, donation amount and tick the Gift Aid box on your sponsor form or fundraising web page.

How does my donation or the money raised make a difference?

DEBRA relies on voluntary income to ensure that we can provide vital practical and emotional support to the EB community, as well as part-funding enhanced specialist nursing in partnership with the NHS and pioneering research with the ultimate aim of finding a cure. We could not do this without your support, thank you.

Can I use your logo on my website or in publicity materials?

You cannot change the DEBRA logo in any way and you must ensure that you represent DEBRA correctly. Commercial organisations are not permitted to use DEBRA’s name or logo without prior written consent. To obtain a high-resolution logo, email [email protected]. The simplest and quickest way to create your own DEBRA fundraising poster is to download one of the template posters, which are complete with the DEBRA logo and ready for you to fill in your event details.
