Psoriatic Disease UK: A Commitment to Transparency and Community

At Psoriatic Disease UK, transparency, trust, and community are at the heart of everything we do. As a patient-led, person-centred charity, we are driven by a singular mission: to support everyone impacted by psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and associated comorbidities. Today, we are thrilled to share an important milestone in our journey—we are officially registered with the Fundraising Regulator.

What Does This Mean for Our Community?

The Fundraising Regulator is the independent body that sets and maintains the standards for charitable fundraising in the UK. By registering with them, we are making a firm, public pledge to adhere to the stringent Code of Fundraising Practice.

For you—our supporters and generous donors—this registration is a guarantee that our fundraising is always:

• Legal, open, and honest: We are completely transparent about how your donations are used.

• Respectful: We will always respect your privacy and boundaries, and we will never put undue pressure on anyone to donate.

• Accountable: If you ever have questions or concerns about our fundraising, we have clear, regulated processes in place to listen and respond.

Why Your Trust Matters

We know that every single pound donated to Psoriatic Disease UK is hard-earned. Because we prioritise the immediate needs and pain points of our community today, we rely on your generosity to keep our vital services running. Your donations fund our peer support networks, the development of our new Information Hub, and our tireless advocacy work—such as fighting for better NHS care pathways for psoriatic disease.

We do not believe in reinventing the wheel, but we absolutely believe that people living with psoriatic disease deserve better. Registering with the Fundraising Regulator is just one more way we are working to ensure that our foundation is strong, ethical, and entirely focused on you.

The Importance of Community Support

Community support plays a vital role in our mission. We recognise that living with psoriatic disease can be isolating. Many individuals face challenges that extend beyond physical symptoms. The mental health impact is significant, and it can affect daily life. That’s why we focus on creating a supportive environment where everyone feels heard and valued.

Our community initiatives are designed to foster connections. We encourage individuals to share their experiences and support one another. This sense of belonging can make a world of difference. It can alleviate feelings of loneliness and provide a platform for sharing coping strategies.

Our Commitment to Advocacy

Advocacy is at the core of what we do. We amplify voices and work creatively and boldly to drive change. We understand that systemic issues can hinder access to care and support. That’s why we are committed to advocating for better policies and practices that benefit those living with psoriatic disease.

Through our advocacy efforts, we aim to influence decision-makers and raise awareness about the challenges faced by our community. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality care and support. Our work is focused on making this a reality.
