The Restricted Growth Association
The RGA is a self-help organisation dealing with helping the social and medical consequences of restricted growth. The Association promotes the interests of people 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. 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.
