Restricted Growth Association

The RGA is a self-help organisation dealing with helping the social and medical consequences of restricted growth.

The RGA is a UK based charity that provides vital information and support to improve the quality of life for persons of restricted growth, and their families.

It is a forum for the exchange of information and advice and provides this for all small people and their families. It publishes advisory booklets and a quarterly newsletter, which we are constantly updating and developing. Meetings of RGA members take place in various forms, the Annual National Convention, Youth and Young adults Weekends, Family National Days and Regional Events. Our goal is to reduce the disadvantages of people of restricted growth by providing information, advice, support, representation and campaigning so as to help increase their knowledge, confidence and ability to meet the challenges of the modern world.

Crucially we provide a network to families and adults throughout the UK who have a rare genetic condition; to meet and share with those who have first hand experience of the same or similar conditions. Thereby offering mutual support and practical solutions to everyday life problems. We also aim to ensure that the diversity of the small people's community is promoted and celebrated.
