Our Work
FOP Action
FOP Action is a UK charity that has been formed to help raise funds and awareness for the research to help find a cure for Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). FOP is a very rare disease, with only 45 known cases in the UK and it is often misdiagnosed in the UK as cancer. The early signs of FOP in children are usually malformed big toes and then painful swellings on the neck, back and shoulders.
FOP Action approached Bronco and asked for our help and support in creating a website that they could use and update that would enable them to provide information to existing FOP families and newly diagnosed families. We were more than happy to help and decided that the best platform for the site would be to base it on a Wordpress blog. Using the standard install of Wordpress we created a new design for it and set it up so that the Pages could be used for the general information and the Posts could still be used for News.
The site also needed an easy way for people to get in touch as well as to Donate to the charity so these needed to be clear. There is a large Information section on the site that is all able to be updated by the admins, but the home page showcases the main pages that will give people a lot of information about FOP. Since the launch of the site the charity has received great feedback and it has helped raise awareness which is vitally important when fundraising.
This site was donated to FOP Action by Bronco as our contribution to them.
Thank you to David and Becky and everyone at Bronco for donating our brilliant website which is really well designed and easy to use. Having a child like Jasmine with a rare condition with no cure or treatment can make you feel helpless, but by having this new UK website we feel that we are helping to raise more awareness about FOP and find a cure.
