Irish Skin Foundation
The Irish Skin Foundation (ISF) is a national charity dedicated to improving quality of life for people living with skin conditions.
We promote skin health and the prevention of skin disease by offering support, independent information, engaging in advocacy, and raising awareness.
We operate a free Ask-a-Nurse Helpline providing direct, accessible and specialist guidance about skin conditions on an appointment model.
Throughout the year we run events, including public information meetings and community outreach.

where your money goes
The ISF does not receive funding or financial support from the HSE
or government agencies; we rely on sponsorship and small donations to continue
our work.
history
The ISF was formed in 2011 when people living with psoriasis and
atopic eczema, skin-cancer prevention advocates, dermatology healthcare
professionals, carers, family, and others affected by skin disease, agreed to
join forces to improve quality of life for people living with skin conditions
in Ireland. We strive to reflect this diversity on our board of charity
trustees.
Since that time, the ISF’s work has been made possible by the
philanthropic support of the City of Dublin Skin and Cancer Hospital Charity,
our Foundation Partners, and project specific donations from advocates and
supporters.
Following our public launch in 2013 we moved operations to UCD’s
Charles Institute of Dermatology, where we are based today.
