About us
Who we are
The Vitiligo Society was established in 1985 and we support people living with vitiligo in the UK.
Our Mission is to beat vitiligo by eradicating the psychological, social and physical effects that vitiligo has on people’s lives, and by finding effective treatments and a cure.
In order to achieve our mission we focus on five priority areas of work which we feel represent us as a Society and what we need to do to best support and represent our community. These are:
- Educate: provide up-to-date information on vitiligo
- Research: inform on, and contribute to, the latest research
- Support: develop and invest in our support services
- Advocate: be a strong voice for our community
- Campaign: reach out to all the people who need us
Our culture and values
We are a small volunteer-led charity. We believe in working hard and doing our very best to support people living with vitiligo. We ensure we make the most of our donations and focus our work on the things that are most important to our community.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
Our charity is committed to promoting fairness and respect for all people. We believe in giving everyone the same rights, protecting people from discrimination, and ensuring equal access to opportunities. We recognise and celebrate the value that every person can bring to our organisation and work.
