About us
Working to support, connect and empower everyone affected by cleft in the United Kingdom.
The Cleft Lip and Palate Association (CLAPA) is a small charity supporting people born with a cleft and their families in the UK
We bring together people affected by cleft to help them connect with others who share their experiences, welcoming them into a supportive community for life.
We have a small office in Bethnal Green, London, but our staff are based around the UK.
Our Vision
No-one affected by cleft lip and palate in the United Kingdom will go through their journey alone.
Our Purpose
CLAPA is the national charity for the people affected by cleft lip and palate in the United Kingdom. We support people to take control of their journey, connect with others, and use their voices to impact the future of care.
