About Changing Faces
Changing Faces is the leading charity in the UK for those with a mark, scar or condition making them look different. It provides advice, support and psychological services for the 1.3 million people affected. Furthermore, it challenges discrimination and is working towards a world that is respectful of people who look different through no fault of their own.
Ultimately, it is fighting for a world in which everyone with a visible difference has confidence, support and the opportunity to lead the lives they want.
To achieve this aim, the charity organises one-to-one sessions with a practitioner; produces self-help guides, which includes a forum for people to help others and organises get-togethers in London every couple of months to help individuals meet others and share experiences.
Learn More About Changing Faces
Did you know that one in five people in the UK self-identify as having a visible difference? Changing Faces found that less than a third of children say they would be friends with someone with a visible difference. In fact, almost half of young people with a visible difference have experienced bullying at school and 66% of adults with a visible difference have also been abused and harassed. That’s why Changing Faces provide a network of support for everyone with a scar, mark or condition on their face or body through its extensive list of services including:
- Skin Camouflage Service
- Online Community
- Counselling Support
- Workshops for Children and Families
Get Involved with Changing Faces
Supporters can volunteer to become part of the Skin Camouflage Service, as a practitioner, seeing clients every month and helping them explore skin camouflage if they choose to. More information can be found on the volunteer page.
For anybody who wants to fundraise while taking on a physical challenge, there are lots of activities to choose from e.g. running, swimming, trekking and bungee jumping. There are plenty of events going on all year round, so be sure to visit the challenge event page for more information.
One of the best ways for supporters to help is to let their friends, family, and colleagues know about the charity's vital work. Supporters have held presentations, organised bake sales, and advocated for the charity and much more!
