CLAPA Voices: Opportunities

Add your voice: current opportunities.

From developing new services and shaping our messaging to collaborating with researchers, we want the cleft community to be involved every step of the way. Thank you for adding your voice!

We want to make our community as inclusive as possible. Our groups are currently underrepresented by people from ethnic minorities, men, people of colour, and people who follow religions other than Christianity. If you represent any of these groups, we encourage you to get involved.

Here are the current open opportunities with CLAPA Voices. If you have any questions or feedback, please contact Gillian, our External Engagement Coordinator, at [email protected].
