Story

On 31st July 2009, Jim Molloy was tragically killed in a road traffic incident. Jim was only 58 when he was taken from us on his way home from work. 

In memory of all the love and dedication Jim had for people with learning disabilities, we have decided that anyone who wishes to donate to a charitable cause rather than sending flowers can do so through this page. Jim dedicated his life's work to helping those with challenging behavioural needs.  As part of his work, Jim was very closely involved with this particular charity and we know that he would be very touched if we could raise money in his name for this cause. 


Thank you for taking the time to visit Jim's JustGiving page.

About the charity

The Challenging Behaviour Foundation (CBF) is a UK wide charity which provides information and support to families and professionals caring for individuals with severe learning disabilities, who are described as having challenging behaviour.The CBF was founded twelve years ago by a parent carer Vivien Cooper: "When our son Daniel was diagnosed with Cri du Chat Syndrome, the only information given was a single sheet of paper. This wasn't much help when Daniel was pulling the curtains down, ripping his mattress open and eating the stuffing, or banging his head. With specialist help, children like Daniel can learn ways to communicate that mean they don't need to resort to challenging behaviour. Frustrated that this specialist understanding had not reached us sooner when we needed it, I set up the foundation in order to provide information and support to other families caring for individuals with severe learning disabilities"The CBF provides a range of resources on issues surrounding challenging behaviour and actively campaigns at national policy level. Resources are free to parent carers."Our aim is for children and adults with severe learning disabilities, who are described as having challenging behaviour, having the same life opportunities as everyone else, including home life, education, employment and leisure"For more information visit our website: www.challengingbehaviour.org.ukEmail: info@thecbf.org.ukTel: 01634 838739
