Fundraising is at the heart of what we do. Every event, every challenge, and every pound raised helps us support children and adults born with microtia, and the families who walk alongside them. Whether you’re hosting a bake sale, running a marathon, or organising a school event, your efforts make a real and lasting difference.
Why Fundraising Matters
Microtia is rare condition that results in underdeveloped ear(s) and impacts hearing, and many families feel overwhelmed when they first have their baby and notice their microtia ear(s). Access to clear information, emotional support, and community connection can transform that experience. Thanks to our fundraisers, Microtia UK is able to provide exactly that.
Your support helps us:
- Offer guidance and reassurance to families at the point of diagnosis
- Provide resources on hearing options, surgery, emotional wellbeing, and education
- Run family events and meet‑ups so no one feels alone
- Raise awareness across schools, healthcare settings, and the wider public
- Support research and innovation that improves care and understanding
- Create safe, supportive communities for children and adults with microtia
Every fundraising effort—big or small—helps us continue this vital work.
