<p> The Dame Vera Lynn Trust for Children with Cerebral Palsy is a specialist service for families of young children with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Parents and children learn daily living skills together at our School for Parents using the principles of Conductive Education. We support families with babies and children under five years of age.<p> <p> A highly skilled and professional team helps parents to recognise a child's unique qualities and achievements. Everyday is an exciting experience and parents can talk openly to each other about their child's activities, sharing an understanding of each other's situation.<p> <p> The emphasis in School for Parents is to provide strong practical support for all parents who have children with special needs within a mutually sympathetic and encouraging environment.<p> <p> All the services we offer are provided free of charge as we receive no statutory funding and rely entirely on the support of the community to help raise the £540,000 needed to ensure that this vital and much needed service can continue.<p>
