Send festive wishes and support CLAPA
Choose a personalised Christmas card or e-card featuring our exclusive 2026 design by CLAPA fundraiser Stanley. Every card helps support people affected by cleft lip and palate across the UK.
Whatever you can donate or fundraise this holiday season will help us build a brighter future for the UK cleft community for years to come.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
-
Festive Jumper day in support of CLAPA
Get your school friends or colleagues to wear a festive jumper and pay £2.
For extra motivation, how about offering a prize for the best jumper? -
Make Hanukkah meaningful
Host a Latkes cook off challenge, invite friends and neighbors to a Hanukkah cook-off and ask for donations for CLAPA.
-
Winter walks
Round up your friends and family, put your best festive jumpers and Santa hats on, and plan a route to walk or run a few miles, asking for sponsorship along the way!
-
Reverse Advent
24 days. £1 or £2 a day. A lifetime of support.
We'll send you a free collection pot, and by Christmas you could raise enough to fund a Welcome Pack, giving a family of a baby born with a cleft the specialist feeding support and information they need from day one. -
Craft sale
You could do this at work or school, or invite friends and family round to a stall in your living room! Create homemade cards, tree decorations and garlands and raise money by selling them for CLAPA.
-
Join a polar plunge
Feeling brave? Take a frosty dip on Christmas Eve or Boxing Day for a sponsored Polar Plunge!
