Facing the World is a children's charity. It was set up by some of the UK's leading craniofacial surgeons so that children in desperate need, living without hope, in the world's poorest countries can have access to the very best surgery to transform their faces and radically change their futures.

  • We offer life changing facial reconstructive surgery in the UK for children with severe facial disfigurements who cannot be treated in their home countries. Find out more >>
  • We provide training to develop international facial reconstruction centres. Find out more >>

Together we can give more children the chance to smile.
