CHARITY – FACING THE WORLD

with your help we can give a child a chance to smile

Facing the World is a children's charity. It was set up by some of the UK's leading craniofacial surgeons so that children with severe facial disfigurements, in the world's poorest countries, can have access to the very best surgery to transform their faces and radically change their futures.
