Why CLAPA is taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge
People affected by cleft can need support throughout their lives. Alongside clinical care, families and individuals can face challenges with feeding, speech, dental care, emotional wellbeing, confidence and navigating services.
Almost 60% of parents are highly concerned about their child’s emotional wellbeing, dental health and the lack of understanding of cleft among teachers and GPs.
CLAPA provides free, accessible support designed with and for the cleft community, including one-to-one support, events, youth mentoring, information, guidance and advocacy.
But we receive no government or NHS funding and we can only provide our vital services with the support of our community and donors. This Christmas, that support can go twice as far.
Your donations can help CLAPA continue providing free support for people affected by cleft throughout their lives, so no one goes through their cleft journey alone.
Twice the value, twice the impact
