                                      Working together with Teddington Trust to create safe spaces for families affected by                                                          Xeroderma Pigmentosum and other UV sensitive disorders.

                                      "Protection from Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) in sunlight has a significant impact on morbidity                                                      and mortality in XP. Children with XP can develop skin cancers as early as 4 years of age of if                                                     not meticulously protected. The Safe Garden Project aims to develop UVR free shelters, both                                                       temporary and permanent, for children and adults with XP. It is a unique and innovate idea                                                       which will make a huge impact on the quality of life of individuals with XP, allowing them to                                                        enjoy life in a safe environment. The UK National XP Service multidisciplinary team wholly                                                            supports this important project."

CIAT have assembled a quorum of design professionals, students and industry experts who are all involved with this project on a voluntary basis. These team members are donating their time and considerable expertise to work with Teddington Trust to design and develop a practical and very real solution with the aim of creating safe `garden/outdoor` spaces for patients of XP and other UV sensitive conditions.
