Learn More About Facial Palsy

Facial Palsy is recognised as the first charity to offer specific support to people affected by facial palsy due to any cause. Facial palsy which is also referred to as facial paralysis, is a condition resulting from damage or absence or impairment of the facial nerve that supplies the muscles of facial function and expression, and affects blinking, closing the eye for sleep, eating and drinking, speech, smiling and frowning.

Facial palsy can be the result of multiple causes, such as: disease, injury, stroke, birth trauma, cancer, or neurological condition. Whatever the cause, the charity understands the physical, emotional and psychological consequences of living with facial palsy which can be equally as devastating for the people affected as it is for their families.
