For the second year, EFA has launched a Community support scheme to support EFA members projects to raise national and local awareness in the lead up to World Atopic Eczema Day 2025.
This support scheme reinforces EFA community impact and will help members raise awareness of the burdens of living with atopic eczema and call for improved access to care.
EFA is more than a federation. We are a dynamic patient community and the funding scheme provides an opportunity to connect the Atopic Eczema community and the broader public, healthcare providers, and policymakers to ensure the voices of those affected are heard and acted upon.
EFA’s support scheme 2025
Through EFA’s scheme, the selected member organisations will receive up to 1,000 EUR to support their communication and dissemination efforts, to improving the prevention and care environment for atopic eczema patients and caregivers across Europe.
Members will propose the activities that fit best their organisation and operational context, from organising local awareness raising campaign, to developing communications materials and implementing media outreach campaigns.
For the 8th consecutive year, EFA is partnering with GlobalSkin in the preparation of the theme for World Atopic Eczema Day 2025, which will be Our skin, our journey (#AtopicEczemaJourney). A communication toolkit and further information on how to join the campaign will be shared in May.
We look forward to working with our community to further increase awareness and call for action about Atopic Eczema this year.
An impactful community support scheme 2024: #AtopicEczemaUnfiltered
Last year, six member organisations implemented impactful activities thanks to EFA’s support scheme.
Through online campaigns, educational workshops, direct consultations, events, distribution of informative materials and many other activities, they reached collectively over 77,000 people on social media, and allowed over 100 patients to receive personalised consultations.
