Build a Better Future appeal
Build a Better Future building appeal
Help us build a better future for children and families living with cerebral palsy in Wales by supporting the development of our new children’s centre.
In Autumn 2019 we were awarded a grant of £1.5million from the Welsh Government, which along with a major gift from the Moondance Foundation in 2017, enabled us to purchase a new home in Llanishen, Cardiff. Our aim was to create a purpose-built children’s centre befitting of a national centre of excellence, with the space to enable us to see many more children and families. This has been our dream for many years.
Despite the financial challenges we have faced over the last year due to the pandemic, and the need for us to focus on securing revenue income, it has still been vital to move forward with the development of the new centre.
However, the scale of the refurbishment has been significantly reduced. Many of the key features have been removed, including a lift to ensure the whole building is accessible, hoists, furniture and storage, a specialist disabled toilet, partition walls to increase the number of therapy rooms, to name just a few.
Our goal now is to raise the £450,000 required to transform the facilities as close to the original plans, and dream, as possible.
This is where we need your help!

Renley's story
As a family, we have found Cerebral Palsy Cymru so helpful. The sessions have been very educational, and the emotional support we have received has also been truly amazing.

Harlow's Story
The early intervention service has given us clear guidance and practical activities to support Harlow at home. Their help has made a big difference in understanding her needs and in accessing further services. Harlow’s therapy sessions have truly been life-changing for her and for us as a family.

Rosie's Story
Even waiting in reception, we could see other families who were in similar situations, and we felt a sort of sense of belonging. We just felt less alone.
