Aim

Our aim is to promote and assist the relief of all people in the UK who have had a laryngectomy – This includes our FREE book ‘Laryngectomy is not a Tragedy’ by Sydney Norgate.

History

The Cancer Laryngectomee Trust was formed in 1985 by a laryngectomee, Sydney Norgate, to help provide support and understanding for people who are about to have, or have had, a laryngectomy.

Achievements

In the twenty years since our creation, we have not only provided a vital support network for our members, we have also:

  • Founded the National Association of Neckbreathers (NANB) – whose members receive emergency recognition aids and regular newsletters;
  • Arranged rehabilitation functions for larygectomees and their carers;
  • Promoted awareness and training in allied organisations, such as St Johns Ambulance and The Red Cross;
  • Lobbied Parliament and the DSS in order to gain recognition of the condition as a disability and supported individual members in their application for appeals;
  • Given small grants to members for a variety of purposes.
