At Debra, we believe that young people have the power to make a significant impact in their communities. As part of our commitment to raising awareness and supporting individuals living with EB, we invite you to participate in our Gaisce Award Programme. By getting involved, you’ll not only work towards achieving your Gaisce Award but also help raise awareness and support those affected by this painful and debilitating condition.
Gaisce – The President’s Award is an initiative designed to inspire and support young people in their personal development through challenges in different areas, including community involvement and personal skills. As an official Gaisce Challenge Partner, Debra offers exciting resources and ideas to help you achieve your Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award while making a meaningful difference for people living with EB.
Our Gaisce Award Programme includes tailored 13-week plans focused on the Personal Skill and Community Involvement Challenge Areas, specifically related to EB. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Personal Skill Challenge: Engage in activities that raise awareness of EB, develop advocacy skills, and document your journey. From researching the condition to creating impactful presentations, you’ll gain valuable insights and experience.
2. Community Involvement Challenge: Make a tangible difference by supporting fundraising efforts, organising awareness events, and forming a ‘Friends of Debra’ group in your school. Your actions can help foster empathy and understanding within your community.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.
