Cerebral Palsy Plus is a Bristol based charity working for and with children and adults with Cerebral Palsy, their families, and their carers.
The charity aims to enhance the quality of life of those with Cerebral Palsy to enable them to live as independently as possible, as well as to provide companionship for isolated disabled people in the community.
They also offer direct support for families to help alleviate the pressures of caring for a family member with cerebral palsy at home.
The charity recognises the very different needs that cerebral palsy can create and their motto is “listening to individuals”.
Since their establishment in 1960 the charity has worked with thousands of people with Cerebral Palsy.
Their services are free of charge to members and membership itself is free. They are designed to meet the emotional and practical needs of members who are socially or physically isolated through their disability by offering companionship, support and encouragement.
This is achieved through a range of services including an information and advice line, an adult evening club, activities and a grants scheme. They also support local organisations involved in the care of those with cerebral palsy.
In 2020 the Randal Charitable Foundation provided grant funding to help support and improve the quality of lives for those with Cerebral Palsy and their families.
