How Does Your Support Help?

Aside from the day-to-day costs of keeping a charity like CLAPA online and active, your donation will give our small, part-time team the breathing space to focus on what matters most: supporting the cleft community!

In 2022/23, we…

  • Sent out 11,457 items of specialist feeding equipment to families and hospitals around the UK. We also sent out 726 free Welcome Packs.
  • Matched up 36 people with a trained CLAPA volunteer as part of our confidential Support Service.
  • Ran 52 online events through Zoom with 763 attendees. Check our most recent events at clapa.com/events

  • Shared 38 opportunities to get involved with cleft research with CLAPA Voices.

…and much more!

“If CLAPA didn’t exist I really don’t know how I would have managed from diagnosis 6 years ago till now. It has the most important role for a family expecting a cleft baby. The support is amazing.”
