A new 2017 edition of The Travel Guide for Laryngectomees is available for download or to order.

Our aim is to promote and assist the relief of all people in the UK who have had a laryngectomy – This includes our FREE book ‘Laryngectomy is not a Tragedy’ by Sydney Norgate and Dr Nicola Oswald MBChB.
The Cancer Laryngectomee Trust was formed in 1985 by a laryngectomee, Sydney Norgate, to help provide support and understanding for people who are about to have, or have had, a laryngectomy.
Since the creation of the charity, we have not only provided a vital support network for our members, we have also:
- Created a mailing list of patients and supporters who receive emergency recognition aids and regular newsletters;
- Arranged rehabilitation functions for larygectomees and their carers;
- Promoted awareness and training in allied organisations, such as St Johns Ambulance and The Red Cross;
- Lobbied Parliament and the DSS in order to gain recognition of the condition as a disability and supported individual members in their application for appeals;
- Given small grants to members for a variety of purposes.
- Published the Travel Guide for Laryngectomees
- Broadcast a BBC Radio 4 Appeal
