Everyday I see the amazing impact Changing Faces has on the lives of clients, their families and their friends.
Many of our clients have to 'face their fears' everyday just to leave the house due to having a condition that effects their appearance. Therefore we are going to 'face our fear' and running both the Leeds 10k and the Great Scottish Run to raise funds to keep this vital service running.
Changing Faces is a charity that supports people with conditions, marks or scars that affect their appearance, to live the lives they choose!
We aim to help individuals lead full, confident and satisfying lives. We give practical and emotional support to adults, children and their families. We also provide training, support and advice to professionals in health and education.
We also aim to transform public attitudes towards people with an unusual appearance. Our goal is 'Face Equality' and we promote fair treatment and equal opportunities for all, irrespective of how they look. We campaign for social change: lobbying for integrated health services; influencing schools and workplaces to create more inclusive environments; and pushing for anti-discrimination protection and enforcement.
