Welcome to Cystic Fibrosis Kids of Portsmouth!

We are a group of parents, family and friends of children with Cystic Fibrosis in the Portsmouth area who are raising money to help make the lives of children with Cystic Fibrosis in the Portsmouth, UK area better. We provide equipment and support to allow them to have as normal a life as possible, and to keep healthy. We are also very much a community of families, and, although our children cannot meet, we are there to talk to each other when it is needed. Click here to find out more about us.

If your world is new to CF

Please visit the Our Families page to hear about life with CF from a parent or siblings perspective, or to hear from our children who suffer from CF visit In My Own Words.

We are also currently working on a CFK parents section, where you can see how we help families in our area, but for now you can visit our top tips page for tried and tested techniques of how to 'cope' with a child with Cystic Fibrosis.
