The Feeding Trust
We are the UK charity for Paediatric Feeding Disorders (PFD), empowering families and communities through advocacy, specialist treatment, training, education and research.
We reduce health and social inequalities for those affected by paediatric feeding disorder through advocacy, awareness raising, education, research and direct support.
Across the world, on average, about 25% of children will struggle with feeding at some point during the first 10 years of life. Studies show that about 10% of children will go on to

- Raise awareness of PFD, through the publication of research and real-life stories.
- Reduce the barriers to accessing evidence based services.
