Why your donation matters

We are dedicated to providing physical and emotional support to children and young adults with cerebral palsy - a permanent, disabling condition which can affect their mobility, communication and independent living skills.

We help children by providing specialist therapy, usually in intensive blocks lasting up to six weeks. We empower parents with the skills and knowledge to give their child the very best start in life. Finally, we train education and healthcare professionals working with children with CP, to ensure that the benefits of therapy extend to all aspects of a child's life.

As a charity heavily reliant on public support, the current economic climate has had a huge impact on our fundraising. Please donate now to allow us to keep helping as many children as possible.

Case study: donations in action

Beatrice, who initially attended aged 3, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy following a premature birth which caused a brain haemorrhage – and robbed her of twin Flora.

Unable to manipulate toys with her hands, she can play semi-independently by activating battery-operated toys via a flat pressure switch. When positioned optimally, she can press a switch without assistance, particularly enjoying toys with movement, sound and bright colours.

Head of Therapy, Rina explains: "Some switches can be used on their own because they have voice recorders. Songs, rhymes and short stories can be recorded onto the switch itself and played back when Beatrice presses the switch. This allows Beatrice to sing along or say rhymes with other children by pressing the switch."

Mum, Louise says: "Bobath is plugging some pretty enormous gaps … I am sure only Bobath therapists could have found the time to unearth her best position for using a switch, something that makes a huge difference to her life.”
