Story


The Master’s chosen charity for 2020

I have chosen this charity due to the fantastic support TOFS have and are providing for a young family member.
Archie is nearly three, but the first months of his life were very difficult and frightening for our family, who are eternally grateful for the support they have had and receiving. 

Abouts TOFS 

We provide support for those born unable to swallow, due to the rare congenital conditions Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (TOF), Oesophageal Atresia (OA) and associated conditions. TOF/OA affect one in every 3,500 babies, and can only be repaired, not cured. When new parents hear the devastating news that their precious newborn baby has TOF/OA, we want to be there for them. From that first moment, to living with the condition as adults, we offer vital support and friendship along the way. Thank you so much for helping us to support our members.

RCN 327735
TOFS offers support to people born with Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (TOF) and/or Oesophageal Atresia (OA). These are rare congenital malformaltions of the gullet and windpipe. Immediate neonatal surgery is a treatment, not a complete cure. We are UK-based and receive no public-sector support at all.
