The Healing Foundation is the only charity, operating throughout the UK and Ireland, supporting research across such a broad range of conditions that affect appearance and visible loss of function. The cause of disfigurement is common, compelling, urgent and, for too long, under funded.

The prospect of making a significant difference in this field is enormous and the opportunity to improve the lives of the hundreds of thousands of those affected, both in the UK and worldwide, is humbling.

Rebuilding bodies, minds and lives is a costly business. We urgently need funds to continue our vision to carry out pioneering research and turn scientific breakthroughs into working reality. We need you to help us make a difference.

Tax-efficient giving
The Healing Foundation can reclaim the basic rate of tax paid on donations - at no extra cost to the donor - thanks to the government's Gift Aid scheme. All cash donations made by UK taxpayers (income tax or capital gains) benefit. Moreover, higher rate taxpayers can claim substantial tax relief on their donations. Please let us know if you would like your gift treated as a Gift Aid donation.

Gifts of listed shares and securities
As well as attracting full relief from capital gains tax, gifts of listed shares and securities made by UK taxpayers also enable the donor to reclaim income tax. Please ask us for further information about gifts of shares.

Corporation tax
UK companies can also claim tax relief on donations when calculating their profits for assessment of corporation tax.
