Cleft Awareness Week: Share your experiences

What would YOU like to tell the world to know about living with a cleft?

This Cleft Awareness Week, we’re asking you – our community – to share your words of wisdom.

What’s the one thing you wish the world understood about living with a cleft? And what’s the strangest thing somebody has ever asked you about it?

By sharing your experiences, you can help challenge misconceptions, raise awareness and give people a better understanding of what life with cleft can really look like.

We’ll be sharing anonymised responses throughout the week across our content to celebrate the strength, honesty and resilience of the cleft community.
