A big thank you to Josh at JP Nugent Plumbing & Heating for helping spread awareness of Microtia UK by sharing a link to our website on his own. This cause is especially close to Josh's heart, as his son was born with microtia. Every share helps more people discover the information and support available.

Josh can also take care of all your plumbing needs! He's based in Leeds and takes on work across Leeds, Wakefield and York. So if you live nearby, please support a local business that's helping to support Microtia UK 🧡
