Venue
Manchester Mind, 5 Samuel Ogden Street, M1 7AX

Manchester, The Scar Free Foundation is coming to you! Join the Scar Free Foundation Community Event at Manchester MIND on Tuesday 29 September.

This will be a safe, friendly, informal space for those with, and affected by, scars. It’s an opportunity to come together, ask questions, and share experiences with people who understand.

During the session you’ll have the opportunity to hear more about scar care, ask questions, and explore the different approaches that can support people living with scars.

These events are opportunities to:

  • Hear honest experiences of living with scars
  • Learn more about scar management and support options
  • Ask questions in a relaxed, non-clinical environment
  • Meet others with shared experiences
  • Connect with a community of people who understand

At this session we’ll hear from Jason Wong, Professor of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and Regenerative Medicine, who will give a talk: ‘Scarring, more than skin deep’. Alongside Jason will be Anca Bratu, a specialist scar massage therapist who is involved in many of our Community Events, and our very own Robert Dickinson, Head of Fundraising.

Everyone is welcome – whether you are living with scars, supporting someone who is, caring for a loved one, or just want to learn more.
