Welcome!
We know how isolating a childhood ILD diagnosis can feel; you shouldn’t have to face it without others who understand. There is no cure yet for most forms of chILD. Every family that connects with research helps push that closer.
Our Mission and Values
Our core values have always been prioritising family and care.
We help families through the practical and emotional weight of a chILD diagnosis:
connecting you with others who understand, sharing clear information, and funding research toward better diagnosis and treatment.
What We Do
Established in 2010, we are here for every family that searches for answers about chILD. Over the years, we have supported various important elements of living with chILD. These include supporting families through critical times of diagnosis or treatment; donating to medical research; and providing families with small grants, holiday oxygen, and family retreats and much more.
As a rare disease charity, this charitable model can be challenging and unsustainable. Today, we are still available to support families and young people where we can and work with any organisations or clinicians/researchers. If you have any queries. email carlee@childlungfoundation.org
