The former Conservative MP Jill Knight, later Lady Knight of Collingtree contributed to a diversity of social causes. Among them was the Psoriasis Association.

Jill did not herself have this difficult and stressful chronic skin condition that affects more than a million people in the UK. But for decades she was committed to securing better understanding and improved psychosocial and medical support for those who do.

The association was founded and still maintains its head office in Northampton, which was her own home town.
