Turn your idea into action.
Raise funds, spread awareness, and change lives.
You don’t need to run a marathon or organise a huge event to make a difference. Whether you host a bake sale, mark a special occasion, or create your own quirky idea, every bit helps children, young people and adults born with a cleft lip &/or palate.
CLAPA receives no government or NHS funding – your creativity and support deliver the difference.
