Lola is a three-year-old girl with a haemangioma, known as a strawberry birthmark, on her left cheek and chin. In this video, Lola's’s mum Lucy, explains how people treat Lola differently because she has a visible difference and how valuable our services are for children like Lola and their families.

Christmas can be a particularly challenging time for families impacted by a visible difference. When you’re out and about a lot more, you’re more likely to experience stares and unhelpful comments. It can really ruin the experience when you want to go out and do the normal things that everyone else is doing, without worrying about other people’s reactions.
