Support our sponsor a nurse appeal to help protect and sustain our nursing team’s crucial support for families for the months and years ahead

As a small, national charity with no government funding the Child Growth Foundation (CGF) are hugely reliant on fundraising, donations and membership to keep delivering our vital support accessed by thousands of families each year.

Our financial year (July 2024 to June 2025) has recently come to an end and it has been a particularly challenging one. Like many charities, we’ve felt the impact of the cost-of-living crisis, which has affected charitable giving across the UK. Unfortunately, we’ve ended the year having raised significantly less income than we need to sustain all our work, including our specialist support services.

At the CGF, making a difference wherever growth is a concern is at the heart of everything we do. We’re more committed than ever to supporting children, young people, adults and families affected by growth conditions and concerns – but we need your help to keep doing exactly that.

That’s why we’re launching our sponsor a nurse appeal. To help protect and sustain this crucial support our nursing team delivers for the months and years ahead.

Our small team is central to the support we provide, including our two dedicated nurses: Sally, our Growth Nurse Specialist, and Lisa, our Paediatric Endocrine Nurse Specialist.

If you’ve called our Support Line, read our online information, received one of our resources, joined a Virtual Cuppa & Chat, attended our convention, or accessed our support in other ways, you will have felt the impact of their knowledge, compassion and care. They ensure families receive the support they need, when they need it most.

By sponsoring a CGF nurse, whether as an individual, family, school or organisation, you’ll be directly contributing to the continuation of our frontline services.

Your support could help us:

-Keep our Support Line running for families seeking information and guidance
-Continue creating and sharing specialist resources that inform and empower
-Host online sessions that reduce isolation and build community

…and much more. Every donation, no matter the size, truly makes a difference.

-£9 could help us answer a call from a concerned parent
-£50 could provide 25 families with expert information booklets about their child’s growth condition following a diagnosis
Larger gifts or corporate sponsorships could fund nurse hours, ensuring no one is left without support

With your help, we can continue to make a big difference in the lives of those affected by growth conditions and concern, offering expert advice, support and a community that understands.

If you can, please consider sponsoring a nurse today through our short donation form below. Your generosity will help secure the future of our support services and the families who rely on them.

From all of us at the CGF – thank you ❤️
