We're delighted to see The Slightest Touch, the powerful documentary sharing Emma Fogarty's life with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), will be featured on BBC One's The Graham Norton Show tonight!

Following its premiere at the BFI London Film Festival this week, Colin Farrell will appear on BBC One's The Graham Norton Show on Friday 16 October at 10.40pm, helping shine a spotlight on Emma's remarkable story and the realities of living with EB. 🦋

The film offers an honest and inspiring insight into Emma's journey, her lifelong friendship with Colin, and the incredible milestone of reaching her 40th birthday, something she was once told she may never achieve.

A huge congratulations to Emma, Colin and everyone involved in bringing this important story to a wider audience. We'd also like to give a special shoutout to our friends at Debra Ireland - The Butterfly Skin Charity, whose support for the EB community has helped make stories like Emma's visible and heard. 🧡 🧡

We hope this national spotlight will increase understanding of EB, raise awareness of the challenges faced by those living with the condition, and inspire greater support for research and treatments.

📺 Tune in to BBC One at 10.40pm tonight (Friday 16 October) and help spread awareness of EB by sharing Emma's story.

Feel Good Friday fundraiser! 💙

Together, they've raised more than £12,600 to support the EB community and fund vital research into treatments that could help us .

🏎️🇫🇷 The Morelli Tour du Loire 2026 was about so much more than the drive. It was about bringing people together, creating unforgettable memories, building lasting friendships and making a real difference for people living with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), also known as butterfly skin.

Over four incredible days, participants travelled through the beautiful French countryside, taking in stunning scenery, historic châteaux and unforgettable roads, all while supporting DEBRA UK and raising awareness of EB.

Thanks to the generosity and commitment of everyone involved, this year's rally raised more than £20,000 to help DEBRA UK provide vital support to the EB community and fund research into effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure. 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, donated, sponsored, volunteered and supported the event, and special thanks to Morelli Group Ltd. for their continued partnership and dedication to helping us .

⛰️ Three Peaks, three teams... £13,500 raised and counting. 💙

This weekend, more than 30 incredible fundraisers took on the National Three Peaks Challenge in support of DEBRA UK.

The teams included people living with EB, family members, supporters and corporate partners, all coming together with a shared determination to make a difference for the EB community.

We're enormously grateful to everyone who took part, donated and supported the challenge. Your commitment, encouragement and generosity have already helped raise more than £13,500, with donations still coming in.

Inspired by the spirit of recent fundraising efforts led by Graeme Souness, participants climbed the UK's highest peaks knowing that every step would help people living with epidermolysis bullosa (EB) and contribute towards funding potentially life-changing treatments.

Thank you to everyone who made this fantastic achievement possible. We hope you're enjoying a well-deserved rest after an unforgettable weekend!

Together, we're helping to improve lives today while moving closer to a world where no one suffers with EB.🦋

From understanding the genetic changes that cause EB to testing promising new approaches, developing therapies is a long and complex process. But every step helps move us closer to effective treatments that could improve the lives of people living with EB.

In this edition of our Science Behind EB Research series, we explain the different types of therapies for all types of EB, therapies that work in different ways to treat the causes and/or symptoms of EB in the skin or throughout the body.

💙 This World Mental Health Day, we're recognising that living with EB can affect much more than physical health.

The pain, uncertainty, daily care routines and life challenges associated with EB can take a significant emotional toll on individuals and families.

That's why supporting mental health and emotional wellbeing is a vital part of DEBRA's Member Services.

Through practical support, welfare check-ins, community connections and opportunities to access specialist help, we're here to ensure no one faces EB alone.

As one member shared:

"Just knowing DEBRA is there makes me feel less alone and less anxious about the future."

Because looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after physical health. 🦋
