About RARE Revolution
RARE Revolution Magazine is the brain child of Nicola Miller and Rebecca Stewart. As sisters, they came together in 2012 to form Action for XP (formerly Teddington Trust), a registered charity dedicated to supporting patients and families affected by the rare genetic disorder xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), after Nicola’s son was diagnosed with the condition aged just 13 months old.
Since 2012 they have worked seamlessly together to execute innovative health, well-being and educational projects. Their Little Ted patient resource was awarded the British Medical Association Patient Information Award for Children 2015.
Frustrated with the lack of opportunities available to promote rare disease and source accessible reliable information, they decided to embark on providing a new platform for all rare disease champions to be heard. RARE Revolution Magazine went on to become Scottish Special Interest of the year finalist 2018.
They formed NRG Collective Ltd in 2016, a not-for-profit company that creates, produces and distributes RARE Revolution Magazine, the RARE Youth Revolution, RARE Revolutionaries Network Community and RARE Communication supporting patient engagement initiatives through tailored digital communications strategies and managed advisory boards.
Thus the #RARERevolution movement was born..
