💙 Help Austin Access Intensive Therapy Programme.

We are raising funds to help Austin attend an intensive physiotherapy programme with Swim Lab International — an opportunity that could make a real difference to his strength, confidence, and mobility.

Why This Matters

Austin has quadriplegic cerebral palsy, intensive therapy like this can have a huge impact on his progress.

Swim Lab International specialises in combining aquatic therapy with land-based treatment. In the water, Austin can move more freely and activate muscles that are otherwise difficult to engage. On land, therapists work on balance, coordination, and core strength — all tailored to his individual needs.

This kind of intensive therapy simply isn’t available through the NHS or schools.

The Goal

We are hoping to raise enough to fund two intensive therapy trips. During 2026/7 & 2027/8.

Each week-long programme costs between €1,490 – €1,977

The therapy takes place abroad (Spain or Ireland)

As a family, we will do our best to cover travel and accommodation costs ourselves.

This is not a holiday — it’s a focused, intensive therapy programme designed to give Austin the best possible chance to progress.

Where Your Money Goes

Every penny raised will go directly towards Austin’s therapy.

If we are lucky enough to exceed our target, any additional funds will be donated to Whizz-Kidz — Whizz-Kidz has already made a huge difference in Austin’s life. They have provided him with a powered wheelchair, specialist AI head switches and opportunities like disability ski sessions. They also support his sister as a young carer through regular online groups.

How You Can Help

Any donation, no matter how small, will help Austin take another step forward.

If you’re not able to donate, sharing this page would mean so much to us.
