Move 5 to help kids with eczema thrive
Every year we ask our members and supporters to get moving to help children and young people with eczema.
Last year EOS supported more than 4000 children and young people with eczema – and their families too. We sent out more than 800 welcome packs and delivered over 125 hours of support to members over the phone. More than 500 children learned about eczema through our school workshops.
We want to do that again.

Our Fundraising Star Reagan took to his bike and did 5 laps of his local football pitch.
“Reagan loves football and being on his bike but his eczema means it can be hard for him. When he gets too hot and sticky, his eczema can flare and he can become very uncomfortable.”
He wanted to get involved in the fundraiser and raise money for Eczema Outreach Support so more kids with eczema can get help and support.
