Cerebral Palsy Scotland

Cerebral Palsy Scotland Specialist therapy, support and information for people with cerebral palsy. We’re ambitious for people with cerebral palsy.

We’re a charity that improves the lives of children and adults with cerebral palsy through specialist therapy, support and information. For over 25 years our therapists have worked alongside people with cerebral palsy, their families and carers, helping them develop practical skills which transform daily life. Founded by a group of determined parents whose children were unable to get the specialis

ed therapy they needed close to home, we’re the only cerebral palsy charity in Scotland. As we’ve grown, the cerebral palsy community continues to be at the heart of everything we do. Our groups reduce isolation, bringing people with cerebral palsy and their families together. Our support service offers a listening ear and advice. We share our knowledge and skills through courses, conferences and working collaboratively. We raise awareness and we campaign for life-long access to knowledgeable, compassionate services and support. Every day in Scotland, people with cerebral palsy are not getting enough support. We need your donations to power our work, so that every person with cerebral palsy can reach their full potential.

We were pleased to welcome Alison Thewliss, MSP and Minister for Community Care, to the Cerebral Palsy Scotland centre this Tuesday. The minister met people with cerebral palsy and their families, as well as specialist therapists and members of the senior leadership team before taking part in a round-table discussion on the challenges facing people with cerebral palsy.

Ms Thewliss said about her visit, “I was pleased to meet people affected by cerebral palsy and the specialist staff delivering therapies at Cerebral Palsy Scotland’s Centre. I want everyone living with cerebral palsy in Scotland to receive the best possible care, at the right time and in the right place.”

We increasingly hear from adults experiencing reductions to social care following reviews of Self-Directed Support packages and have called for Self-Directed Support payments to be able to be used for maintenance therapy, introducing routine cerebral palsy training for health, education and social care professionals, developing a national framework for children and adults with cerebral palsy, and improving national and local data collection.
