The Foundation is the UK's leading charity relating to children's growth.

This site contains information of benefit to parents with a child who has a diagnosed or suspected growth problem, to people who have a growth problem and their families, and to people and medical professionals with an interest.

Our aim is to;

• Support and encourage all persons (either children or adults) who have growth disorders, and their families, in any manner which is charitable in accordance with the law of the United Kingdom.
• Promote and fund research into the causes and cure of growth disorders in children within the area of benefit and to publish the results of such research
• Educate the public in general and workers in the medical profession in particular, in the problems and difficulties encountered by those with growth disorders.
• Encourage the regular monitoring of growth and development criteria by medical professionals, at all levels, and facilitate such monitoring by identifying and making available on loan or for purchase equipment suitable for the purpose.

Further information, advice and assistance can be obtained by contacting the registered office.
