Welcome to Awareness Week!

May 7, 2016

It’s the first day of Cleft Lip and Palate Awareness Week!

We’re kicking off in style with a record FOUR sponsored walks taking place today around the country (and one very special sponsored bounce!), and we just can’t wait to see all your photos and videos popping up all across social media.

This week is all about starting a UK-wide conversation about cleft, raising funds and making a real difference to how people think about cleft lip and palate in 2016.

To help us spread the word, we’ll be setting you a challenge each day of the week. Today’s one is nice and simple!

TODAY’S CHALLENGE: Add the Awareness Week Twibbon to your Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Twibbon Example

Twibbons are a fantastic (and free!) way to show your support for a cause, and they’re a great conversation starter!

Over 1,500 of you have already added our colours to your profile pictures, but we’d like to see this number double (or even triple) to smash our records this Awareness Week.

Remember, every like, retweet, comment, share and post helps us to reach more people than ever before and get the whole of the UK talking about cleft lip and palate!

Sat7-01

Look out for more announcements during the week about how you can get involved.

P.S. Don’t forget to send us your photos and videos from throughout the week for a chance to appear in our annual magazine, CLAPA News! You can share them on social media, or directly to us at [email protected].
