     Children's Liver Disease Foundation (CLDF)              

    Formed in 1980, Children’s Liver Disease Foundation is the only UK charity dedicated to fighting all childhood liver diseases. We provide tailored support services to all those affected by childhood liver disease, deliver comprehensive information to healthcare professionals, patients and their families and provide them with one strong voice to effect change in the diagnosis and treatment of paediatric liver disease, giving them hope for the future. In addition we fund vital medical research through a number of grant calls throughout the year. CLDF have recently developed a research hub which aims to increase patient and public involvement through our network of research hub members. Members are parents, carers and young people affected by childhood liver conditions who have an interest in research design and supporting promotion of findings. For further information about our research programmes and the research hub visit www.childliverdisease.org/research

    Crohns in Childhood Research Association (CICRA) 

    CICRA was founded in 1978 to fund research into Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative colitis, working towards better treatments and training of specialists. We continue to support the development of paediatric gastroenterology in the UK. We are working hard to find out what causes Crohn’s, Ulcerative colitis and all forms of inflammatory bowel disease to help the thousands of children living with these conditions, including those with Very Early Onset IBD. 

    We lead research into better treatments, help children and families with information and support, work with health professionals to improve care and give children a voice to increase public understanding of Crohn’s and colitis. We believe that all children deserve a childhood unlimited by inflammatory bowel disease.

    Guts UK 

    Guts UK is the charity for the digestive system. We’re the only UK charity funding research into the digestive system from top to tail: the gut, liver, and pancreas. People are suffering, people are dying because of the lack of knowledge about our guts. It’s time the UK got to grips with guts.

    Since 1971 we have funded nearly 300 projects and invested almost £16 million pounds.

    With new knowledge, we will end the pain and suffering for the millions affected by digestive diseases. Guts UK’s research leads to earlier diagnoses, kinder treatments and ultimately, a cure.

    Guts UK’s vision is of a world where digestive disorders are better understood, better treated and everyone who lives with one gets the support they need.

    Our mission is to provide expert information, raise public awareness of digestive health and transform the landscape for research into our digestive system to help people affected by diseases of the gut, liver and pancreas.

    TOFS

    TOFS (Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula Support) is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of all who were born with Oesophageal Atresia and/or Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (OA/TOF).  Our vision is for anyone born with OA/TOF to be able to live life unlimited, and we have been helping families through the challenges of bringing up a child with OA/TOF, VACTERL and associated conditions since 1982.   We are working towards a world in which those born with OA/TOF live long and healthy lives, unconstrained by the impact of being born with these conditions.

    We provide one-to-one support, and a range of information and resources to families/carers and adult patients. TOFS is a recognised source of information for professionals with an interest in OA/TOF. Through our Facebook group <https://www.facebook.com/groups/TOFSMEMBERS>  we provide a platform where parents and carers of TOF children can discuss the problems they face and gain support from each other. We recognise that some people born with OA/TOF continue to need help and support as adults, which we endeavour to provide. 

    The TOFS charity also takes an active role in supporting research into the causes and implications of these conditions.
