Shielding stories - insights & reflections of lockdown life

We wanted to share with you the impact our support services have on families and individuals living with CGD and how they can make a real difference to families when they are facing difficult times.

Here's some incredible families and their stories, during these difficult times.


We asked our CGD community to share their experiences of shielding and lockdown, at the start of the pandemic.

Rhea kindly shared her story here: Rhea's video
