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 receive no NHS or government funding……and we rely on donations to continue our vital work. Please help us keep our services free and accessible to the cleft community

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.
