Who we are
About The Child Growth Foundation
Founded in 1977, the Child Growth Foundation (CGF) is now the UK’s leading charity focusing on growth and endocrine issues.
We support children and adults with rare growth disorders along with their families and fund research into the causes and treatment of growth and endocrine disorders.
As the conditions we support are rare, raising awareness with health professionals including doctors, nurses and health visitors and the publication of papers in medical journals have become important parts of our work. We take part in many strategic meetings relating to growth and lobby various government bodies.
Our Mission
Our mission is to:
- Support children and adults with growth related issues and their families
- Fund research into potential solutions
- Raise awareness of growth conditions
- Support health professionals in the management of these conditions
