We always welcome new members whether you are a mother or father of a child with restricted growth, a professional working with someone who has restricted growth, or you are a person of restricted growth yourself. Visit the 'About the RGA' Section for more information about how we can support you.
Welcome to the Restricted Growth Association - (RGA)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.
There are estimated to be over 200 different forms of restricted growth, also known as dwarfism or short stature. The most common of these conditions, affecting around 70% of our full members, is Achondroplasia, a condition that causes disproportionate short stature. For more information about some of the conditions our members have experience of please see our page about Restricted Growth.
The RGA aims to support individuals and families that are affected by any restricted growth condition by providing telephone support, opportunities to come together on equal terms, a quarterly magazine and provide a wider public awareness of the conditions to increase understanding.
The Committee of the RGA is made up of members that represent the views and needs of the membership. |
