Gorlin Syndrome Group is a small but dynamic UK registered charity with ambitious plans for future expansion.
The purpose of the charity is to provide information, education and support to those suffering with Gorlin Syndrome, their families and carers. It also actively promotes medical research.
Gorlin Syndrome is a rare inherited disorder that affects many parts of the body, especially the skin and the skeleton. Previously known as naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) and Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, the disorder increases the risk of developing various cancerous and noncancerous tumours. For more information download our GSG booklet via our website: www.gorlingroup.org.
The Group is organised and run on a voluntary basis by a group of Trustees, some of whom live with Gorlin Syndrome themselves and is totally reliant on donations, sponsorships and regular ‘givers’ to continue its important and valuable work.
We currently have vacancies on our Board and to help us grow we need experienced members of the public to join us. If you have just a couple of hours a week that you could spare us then read on…
