Virtual Cuppa and Chats

We were delighted to mark Children’s Growth Awareness Day in September 2023 by hosting a Virtual Cuppa and Chat. It proved so popular and beneficial that we are continuing to run these virtual support chats on a regular basis.

These supportive sessions are run by the CGF’s nursing team, Sally and Lisa, and are a lovely opportunity to meet virtually with other parents and carers in the growth community.

We are all aware of the value in being part of a community who have a shared understanding of the challenges and lived experiences of growth conditions, so this is a real opportunity to connect with other parents/carers, share experiences, and ask the CGF team any questions you may have in a safe, welcoming space.

Our peer to peer Facebook groups

We have a range of closed Facebook groups enabling peer to peer support in the child growth community.

These groups provide a chat forum for parents and carers of children with a diagnosed growth condition and their families, for adults with the conditions themselves, and for those working towards a diagnosis. Click on the buttons below to join the relevant group(s).

We have a range of other support available including our support line on 020 8995 0257 and email at [email protected].
