Cleft Lip and Palate Awareness Week 2025: Thank You!
Cleft Lip and Palate Awareness Week 2025 was 3rd – 11th May.
This year, we asked the community to get involved by sharing their story to raise awareness, and to Wear it Blue or hold a Cuppa for CLAPA to raise funds.
Thank you for also joining in by sharing our posts, putting up posters and sharing your story in school or work.
With every post shared and every penny raised, you’ve helped us ensure that no one goes through their cleft journey alone.
- We shared 18 social media posts over the week, busting common myths, sharing stories from the community and sharing messages from CLAPA’s Ambassadors, Patrons and Trustees.
- We shared 110 of your posts through Instagram Stories – thank you all for sharing and tagging!
- We gained 681 new followers across all of our social media platforms – that’s 681 new people learning about CLAPA.
- Across all platforms, you we reached over 613,500 people thanks to you sharing our posts.
- 42 of you pledged to raise awareness and fundraise at work, school or your local community. If you haven’t already, please send us any photos so we can share what you got up to!
- 190 leaflets and 66 posters were sent out – you can still request these here.
- Our fabulous fundraisers raised £11,000 and counting through our JustGiving Campaign, with more coming in from other platforms.
To every single one of you who got involved in any way, we’d like to say a huge THANK YOU!
