A new business for people with eczema will give back to EOS with every purchase.
Linen Love was founded this year by Jo Withers, a mum of two who knows first hand the challenges dealing with severe eczema can bring.
The company produce 100 per cent linen bedding bundles, perfect for people with eczema or sensitive skin conditions. They will donate £5 from every sale to Eczema Outreach Support.
Jo was diagnosed with eczema as a tot and still sufferers from inflamed skin, flare ups and painful skin blisters.
She said: “I have suffered from eczema all my life, and know how hard it can be to have a flare up and not be feeling your best.
“I started using linen bedding myself because it soothed my skin and kept me cool through the night but I struggled to find it. Fitted sheets were almost impossible to purchase and then I couldn’t get sheets to match duvet covers. So the idea for Linen Love was born.”
The bedding comes in packs with fitted sheets, duvet cover and pillowcases and are certified 100 per cent linen.
Jo will donate £5 to Eczema Outreach Support with every bundle sold and is also taking on a exercise challenge for the UK wide charity to support families with eczema.
Jo said: “I wanted to give back to EOS as I know how tough it was to be a child suffering from eczema. I had children refuse to hold my hand at country dancing in case they caught my eczema and had people stare when my face has been covered in eczema. I wish EOS had been around to provide support when I was young as the work they do is incredible.”
Eczema Outreach Support is free to join for children and young people with eczema and their parents or carers living anywhere in the UK. They hold events and workshops as well as providing advice and support.
CEO of EOS, Suzi Holland, said: “A huge thank you to Jo for generously donating to EOS from every sale.
“We receive no government or NHS funding and rely solely on donations to fund our work. We support over 4000 families across the UK and simply couldn’t do it without people like Jo who chose to fundraise.”
