There are over 8,000 known genetic conditions worldwide. Some conditions cause minor health complications, and some can be life limiting. A genetic condition can affect anyone, anywhere and every condition changes the lives of those affected.

Each condition can differ greatly but each persons right for reliable information and support bonds our vast community. Gene People answer the calls of those diagnosed or going through diagnosis first hand. We're also here for the parents of children affected by a genetic condition who are fighting for information and services, the couples who are longing for a family but want to understand the health complications of a possible genetic condition and the caregivers who are trying their best to negotiate stretched services.

Gene People offer the only free Genetic Counsellor-Led helpline in the UK. Our unique service offers callers clarity on a diagnosis and what this could mean for them and their family or care network. Our service is free for everyone in the UK and available in over 200 languages, reaffirming that we are here for everyone who needs us.

Support for Gene People creates a ripple throughout our community. Not only will you supporting those who access our helpline you will be supporting the hundreds of amazing groups and organisations who work with Gene People, some of which are volunteer-led by the parents and families of those affected.

Each call and individual in our community is unique but together we are one. Together, We Are Gene People.
