EOS needs our members to 'reach out' this March and raise funds through creativity, contacts, challenges - whatever suits you best! We want to educate about the issues eczema can have on the whole family while raising much-needed donations.
Finn has battled with eczema since he was just ten weeks old.
His mum, Charlotte, has tried countless creams, steroids and antibiotics, but his sleep is constantly affected by the pain. Previously he has even been hospitalised, needing IV antibiotics, after getting a severe infection in his broken skin.
"Having painful eczema is all Finn has ever known. It is relentless." - Charlotte
With Finn due to start nursery, she desperately sought advice on how to manage the transition.
“I found EOS online and used their school resources to make it as smooth as possible. I became a member and got a lot of great advice. It can be quite lonely dealing with eczema when you don’t know anyone else going through a similar experience. I have been so grateful for their support.”
Our funding allows us to support those aged from birth to 17 years. Joining our membership is free. Every family receives a welcome pack and offer of one-to-one support. Additionally, we provide peer support and host online and in-person events for our members. EOS also provides workshops for schools, as well as advocating for the voices of young people in healthcare and education systems across the UK.
By accessing EOS services, children and their families living with eczema say they feel more confident, supported and connected.
