Feeding Tube Awareness Week is an opportunity to increase awareness and understanding in the greater community and highlight some of the challenges faced and day-to-day impact on individuals, carers and families.

There are many reasons why babies, children or adults may require a feeding tube. This week is about bringing everyone together who has a feeding tube, whatever the reason may be. Tube feeding is a way for the body to get food if an individual is unable to eat or unable to eat enough. Food in liquid form is given through a tube into the stomach or small intestine.

Get involved with Feeding Tube Awareness Week by showing your support and helping spread awareness with friends and family and on social media.
