Our bumpy ride has been so much easier with TOFS; just listening to other people’s experiences and knowing someone is there.

Want to help run TOFS? We’re currently looking for new people to join our Council of Management. It’s simply a regular but small commitment of time and a great way to share your talents. Our current trustees (most of them are parents of a child born with TOF/OA) tell us they find their role very fulfilling.

We’re indebted to our volunteers for all their support and hard work. Most of them are parents or relatives of children born with TOF/OA who want to share their experiences. They help us give reassurance to many families. We’re currently looking for people with skills in the following areas:

If you feel you could share your skills, even for a just a very small amount of time, we’d love to hear from you.

Trekking across mountains… jumping out of planes… organising seventies-style discos...

However they do it, we’re very grateful to the many people who raise funding to allow us to continue our work.

Are you thinking about organising a fundraiser for TOFS? Get in touch with us at the office - we can help you plan and publicise your event. The TOFS range of toys and gifts are great for prizes or treats to sell at your events. Now you don’t even need to worry about sponsorship forms - www.justgiving.com is a brilliantly easy way to raise sponsorship - take a look!

And finally… don’t forget to tell us all about it so we can share your achievements in Chew, the newsletter for our members.
