Raise a smile and change a life!
All children are special and deserve the best possible chance in life. For children born with cleft deformities who cannot afford corrective surgery the NCF offers a lifeline. Just £200 pays for a child to have life changing surgery and all donations help. Fundraising is a great way of making a difference and there is a way for everyone to raise a smile.

Organise your own Event
There is a fun-draising event to make everyone smile… make it fun to do and raise smiles for others at the same time.
Organise a tea party, film night, bake sale, jumble or car boot sale. Friends love to help and events like this can be great fun and can raise awareness as well as much-needed funds.
Email us with your ideas and if you need to publicise your event we can help with ideas and support.
Donations instead of Presents
If you have a birthday or special anniversary coming up and don’t want gifts, why not ask friends to donate to the charity instead. That way people know they are donating smiles in your name – what could be better?

Fundraising in Schools
The brainchild of primary school teacher, Mrs. Gill Byrom, the ‘Gallery of Smiles’ Exhibition provides a simple fundraising initiative for schools or groups. It can easily be adapted to suit individual needs and is beneficial to everyone involved.
The initiative uses self portraits to provide an exciting opportunity for children (and adults) to engage in a fun and creative art activity. It fits perfectly with the Northern Cleft Foundation’s key message of ‘Giving Smiles for Life’.
