Friends of the ED Society
As a charity we want to provide free information and support about the Ectodermal Dysplasias to individuals, families, carers, professionals, schools and all other supporters.
Regular donations to the ED Society is the best way to secure our future, enabling us to continue providing support to individuals and families.
We are a non-profit organisation which depends solely on donations and fundraising for its existence.
You can help by:
- becoming a friend of the ED Society
- donating
- setting up a standing order
- leaving a legacy
- fundraising
- volunteering
- corporate support
- distributing leaflets to schools/professionals
The positive effects this will have for the ED Society are:
- it will be much simpler for those who may not be personally affected by ED to support us, such as extended family, friends, and colleagues
- significantly simpler to manage
- less administration for the ED team, resulting in more time to concentrate on support for our increasing community.
What are the benefits to you of setting up a regular payment?
You will:
-
retain all the same access
-
have more flexibility on how much you would like to support us financially
-
have an opportunity to apply to the Support Fund (UK only)
- have access to support when completing Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independent Payment and Blue Badge application forms, together with assistance for appeals and tribunals
- receive mailings packed with the latest events and news
- gain access to our medical specialist network
- know that donations will go into our support fund to help with air-con units and fans, humidifiers, wigs/hair pieces, and assistance with travel to medical specialists and more.
