Microtia UK

Microtia UK is dedicated to supporting those born with microtia and their families.


Microtia is rare condition that results in underdeveloped ear(s) and impacts hearing, and many families feel overwhelmed when they first have their baby and notice their microtia ear(s). Access to clear information, emotional support, and community connection can transform that experience. Thanks to our fundraisers, Microtia UK is able to provide exactly that.


How Your Support Helps

Fundraising is at the heart of what we do. Every event, every challenge, and every pound raised helps us support children and adults born with microtia, and the families who walk alongside them. Whether you’re running a marathon, cycling, skydiving or walking, your efforts make a real and lasting difference.

Why Fundraising Matters

Your support helps us:

  • Offer guidance and reassurance to families at the point of diagnosis
  • Provide resources on hearing options, surgery, emotional wellbeing, and education
  • Run family events and meet‑ups so no one feels alone
  • Raise awareness across schools, healthcare settings, and the wider public
  • Support research and innovation that improves care and understanding
  • Create safe, supportive communities for children and adults with microtia

Every fundraising effort - big or small - helps us continue this vital work.

Ways To Get Involved

There are so many ways to support Microtia UK:

  • Sponsored runs, walks, or cycles
  • Bake sales, coffee mornings, or school events
  • Workplace fundraising and charity partnerships
  • Birthday fundraisers
  • Community raffles or craft fairs
  • Challenges - big or small - that inspire others to donate

Whatever you choose, we’re here to cheer you on! We can provide you with free charity t-shirts, running vests, sweat headbands, charity balloons, collection boxes, and even flags!

When you fundraise for Microtia UK, you’re not just raising money – you’re raising awarenessbuilding community, and helping families feel seen, supported, and understood.

Together, we can make sure every child and adult with microtia feels confident, connected, and never alone.

Join us, and together we can make a change!
