We run free online events for parents and carers of babies and young children with CF (aged up to 6 years).  

At these events families with young children with CF can connect with each other, in a supportive and understanding environment.  We use the video calling platform Zoom to bring you together safely.  

We are really interested to hear what you think of the events.  We would love to hear from you if you have any ideas for events to run in the future.  Please email [email protected] with any questions, suggestions or to find out more and sign up!

Pre-school and primary school

Starting pre-school or primary school can be an exciting and daunting time for parents, particularly if your child has cystic fibrosis (CF).

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition affecting around 11,000 people in the UK.
