What we do
We are a national centre of excellence for families in Wales with children who have cerebral palsy. Our specialist team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists work together to offer transdisciplinary skills, so each child, benefits from their combined expertise. Our family support service offers a listening ear, advice and support. We share our knowledge and skills through collaborative working, courses, national and international conferences.

We left that initial therapy session on an absolute high and haven’t looked back since!

Noah's story
After our first therapy session, I left Cerebral Palsy Cymru’s children’s centre with something nobody had previously dared give me for my little boy. I left with hope.

Cake & Tea for CP 2023
Roll up your sleeves, fire up the ovens and get baking this May to help us raise some dough! Every cake baked and pound donated will help us provide therapy and support for children and families across Wales living with cerebral palsy.
Did you know that cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in children worldwide? Every 5 days, a baby will be born in Wales who will have the condition. Whether you decide to host a bake sale, organise an afternoon tea party, or simply enjoy a catch-up with friends over a cuppa and a slice of cake, make every crumb count this May by taking part in Cake & Tea for CP 2023.
