Collaborations

CLEFT is currently exploring developing closer contacts with other cleft charities and organisations. At a recent meeting, trustees met representatives from Transforming Faces, the European Cleft Organisation, the World Cleft Coalition and the Craniofacial Society of Great Britain and Ireland. All gave short presentations and it is clear that our organisations can benefit from working with each other. Several proposals were made which we hope will come to fruition. For example, surgeons could be invited to the UK to train in a variety of cleft specialties (not just surgeons) as part of a trip which could end with participation in the 14^th International Cleft Congress in July 2022. Cleft practitioners have received training several times under the auspices of CLEFT but it is hoped that even more hospitals can be involved now. A possible project in Nepal was proposed and Transforming Faces explained how they collaborated with other CLEFT charities, such as Smile Train, which currently has a very different model of cleft care to CLEFT.

The Big Give Christmas Challenge

One Donation TWICE the Impact!

Every donation made to CLEFT via The Big Give website will be doubled - from midday today until midday on 7th December.

How do I donate?

Only donations made during the campaign dates and through the Big Give website will be doubled. DONATE HERE​

The campaign will then run until 12pm midday on Tuesday 7th December, unless we meet our target beforehand.
