supporting the families of children born unable to swallow

Thanks to the dedication of its volunteers and fundraisers, TOFS has grown from a small self-help support group into a national source of support and information for both families and health professionals.

Supporting TOFS

A listening ear, the right information at the right time, the chance to share the challenges and the rewards… whatever support they need, your donation can help us make a difference for families caring for children with TOF/OA and VACTERL.

We rely on funding from donations, fundraising activities, membership subscriptions and income from grants to enable us to support families of children with Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula, Oesophageal Atresia and associated conditions.

We organise our own fundraising events and make applications for one-off sources of funding. We benefit from donations and fundraising activities made by the families, friends and local communities of children with TOF/OA. Their help is invaluable, but we also need ongoing funding to help us work towards ensuring that the family of every child with TOF/OA can access the funding and support they may need during their difficult early years.

Your donation will help us make this difference. You can donate online or post a cheque to our main office. (Gift aid allows us to recover an additional 28% with your donation at no cost to you. All you need to do is complete the Gift aid declaration section of the online donation form.)

You benefit - we benefit! Why not join TOFS as a member and help support us?
