Caring Matters Now UK

The only UK charity supporting those affected by Congenital Melanocytic Naevi


Caring Matters Now is the only UK charity supporting children and adults affected by Congenital Melanocytic Naevi (CMN) - a genetic condition, consisting of dark brown hairy birthmarks covering up to 80% of the body. The condition has many expressions, some of which can lead to medical complexities. CMN can also grow internally, which in the worst cases can be fatal. 

Our vision:
We have a vision of a world where no one suffers with CMN. 

Our 3 main aims are:
To support those affected by CMN
To fund pioneering research to develop effective treatements of CMN
To raise global awareness of CMN
