Our Services
As a charity, we benefit from the expertise, enthusiasm and goodwill of many people - CGD families, doctors, nurses, researchers, volunteers, patrons, trustees and fundraising supporters.
With help from these diverse sectors, we can give on-the-ground support to CGD-affected people in a multitude of ways, including medical advice, emotional support and raising awareness of the condition.
We are sensitive to the fact that every case of CGD is a person and that no two people with CGD have the same needs, and at different times the same person needs different services. This is why the services we offer are broad ranging.
If you have a question about CGD and cannot find the answer within this website, please contact us and we will do our best to get an answer for you.
