About Us
 
The FASD Trust was started  in January 2007 in response to the growing number of requests for information on FASD being received by the adoptive parents of a child with FAS. 

 

The FASD Trust exists as a charity to raise awareness of FASD thereby;

  • improving the understanding of those with FASD and;
  • increasing the support that those with FASD and their families / carers receive, not just from statutory bodies, but from the wider community. 
  • preventing others being born with FASD.

 

 It aims to do this by:

 

  • running support groups
  • having a telephone helpline
  • holding training seminars 
  • providing advice on "best practice" to teachers, medics and  other professionals involved in the care of those with FASD.
  • informing local and national decision makers to ensure provision for those with FASD.
  • collaborating with others.
