What's so special about PACE? At PACE children with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy find their own voice, walk their own steps and discover that they can fully enjoy everyday life and become active members of society. Cerebral palsy is a physical condition affecting movement as a result of damage to the brain. We believe in each child's ability to learn despite their disability. We provide a loving and inspirational environment, motivating children with physical disabilities to work hard at achieving their goals. Our focus is on 'educating for life' - developing a child's social, emotional, communication, academic and motor skills. Every child's achievement is a direct result of our unique staff team, all working together in one centre with the child at its heart. PACE is a charity inspired by the principles of Conductive Education, a system which emphasises that children develop as a whole. One in every 400 children in the UK is affected by cerebral palsy. Your support enables us to reach children and families though intensive programmes, training and outreach. We depend on donations from trusts, businesses, groups and individuals.

My story

Thank you for visiting the PACE Children's Challenge fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor the children online.

Mobility, rope, fishing, darts/basketball and walking challenges are all set to help children with cerebral palsy in their long-term development. The children did a fantastic job with all their challenges at Stoke Mandeville Stadium on 1st November; now it's over to you to help PACE reach that target...

PACE needs £50,000 to pay for one year's Parent and Child service. These services focus on early and intensive input, preferably beginning at under 12 months of age. Help us not only reach but surpass our target!

PACE is a family-centred organisation which provides integrated education on a daily basis for children from 6 months to 12 years with motor disorders such as cerebral palsy.

We believe:

In each child’s ability to learn, no matter how great the disability.

That all learning is learning for life.

That every activity of daily life offers an opportunity for learning.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor PACE. PACE will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor the children now!
