DEBRA was nominated by Stuart Wooden, whose personal connection to the charity makes this choice especially meaningful. Stuart’s wife and two children live with EB, and his family has been actively fundraising for DEBRA over the years to support research and care. Stuart shared his thoughts on why this charity means so much:
“Living with EB is unimaginably tough, but the support from DEBRA makes a world of difference. Knowing that people care and are willing to help is a huge boost to our family and others in the same situation. I’m incredibly proud that Banyards has chosen to stand with DEBRA and help make a real impact.”
Choosing DEBRA as our charity partner reflects not only the heartfelt connection within our team but also our commitment to supporting causes that have a profound impact on individuals and families. The decision followed a process where our people submitted nominations, each linked to a story or personal experience.
Other shortlisted charities included:
We have set an ambitious but achievable goal to raise £2,500 over the next year to support this vital cause and this will go directly to DEBRA to fund ongoing research and support initiatives. To achieve this goal, we will be organizing various fundraising events, including sponsored activities, charity challenges, and more.
We encourage all team members to join in, whether by participating in events, making a donation, or spreading the word about DEBRA’s important work. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by EB.
