Katie Piper OBE is an icon of her generation; she has been changing the landscape in the world of beauty for over a decade. She was the first woman with visible differences to appear in TV and billboard adverts for brands such as L’Oreal, and La Roche Posay.

Over a decade ago, she set up the charity The Katie Piper Foundation to help people with burns and scars to reconnect with their lives and their communities. Simon Cowell supported Katie by becoming the patron and remains actively involved to date. The charity’s vision is a world where scars do not limit a person’s function, social inclusion or sense of wellbeing. The charity achieved Katie’s dream to provide the first rehabilitation centre in the UK for people with life altering burns and scarring.
