Supporting Families
Throughout East of England
FUNDRAISING EVENTS FORM: Thank you for organising a fundraising event to raise valuable funds for the CLAPA -Cambridge Branch’. Can you please download the EVENT & GIFT AID FORM.
Dr Anna Zeffertt said: "CLAPA–Cambridge is doing a fantastic job to bring children with cleft lip and palate problems together who would only otherwise meet each other in the hospital clinic or ward setting. Families get a great deal out of meeting each other and sharing information. It is a good step towards breaking down some of the misconceptions that exist about the condition." The Cleft.Net.East Network based at Addenbrooke's provides a centre for excellence for the region's cleft lip and palate patients, offering care and support from birth right through to adulthood. It is a 'hub and spoke' service, where patients can be seen at Addenbrooke's (the 'hub') for surgery and special clinics, receiving part of their regular care, for example speech and language therapy, at more local centres ('spokes'). The core team travels to nine local hospitals for joint clinics with local specialists. The team is multidisciplinary, and is made up of plastic surgeons, speech and language therapists, orthodontists, ear nose and throat/audiology specialists, paediatricians, a psychologist and nurse specialists.
CLAPA Cambridge together with the Cleft Lip and Palate Team at Addenbrooke’s Hospital supports families whose children are born with a cleft across the East Anglian Region. Each year we have two main events the ‘Summer’ and ‘Winter Wonderland’ Parties that are supported by the Cleft Team at Addenbrooke’s, who come and talk to children and parents informally. Both children and parents get a great deal out of meeting other families, talking to members of the team and in generally having lots of fun. Our members are parents whose children have a cleft or they may have a cleft themselves, so they can offer support gained through personal experience or medical professional with a special interest in cleft. We are grateful to the Cleft team for their fantastic support given to the branch for over many years.
We are financially operated independently from the head office and your support is vital to us to continue our work. We believe in making a difference in our community by giving back our time, skills and resources to help other families who are under the care of the cleft team at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. We are committed to put funds back into the cleft care for patients in East Anglia.
We are dedicated to continue provide a ‘welcome’ pack (free of charge) to every newborn baby in the East Anglian Region, which are distributed by a specialised cleft nurse and are our first point of contact, as well as finance various medical equipments/projects at the Addenbrooke’s Hospital, to improve the medical care for children or adults with cleft.
Dr Anna Zeffertt, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, as well as being part of the Cleft Team is also a member of the Cambridge branch. We would like to thank her for all her support, dedication and hard work she has given to CLAPA.-Cambridge for many year. Her comittment and help are both invaluable and appreciated very much by everyone at the branch. Thank you!!
