TOFS TOFS: lifelong support those born with OA/TOF (Oesophageal Atresia / Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula)

TOFS (Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula Support) is a small charity dedicated to helping all who were born unable to swallow. Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (TOF) and Oesophageal Atresia (OA) are rare congenital conditions that occur in around one in every 3,500 births. The incidence is similar all over the world and there is no single known cause. Learning that their child has TOF/OA can be an extremely d

ifficult time for parents. From that first moment of learning that your baby has the condition to sharing the everyday challenges of bringing up a child with TOF/OA, being part of the TOFS charity offers friendship, support and information. We also provide support for adult TOFs

We are a founder member of EAT an International federation of support groups dedicated to gathering and disseminating practical and medical information about the condition. The EAT website provides further information: - www.we-are-eat.org

TOFS is a registered charity, no. 327735 and a limited company, no. 2202260 dedicated to providing emotional support to families of children born with Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula, Oesophageal Atresia and associated conditions
