Get your school involved with CPAM 2024
There are around 1,800 children in Wales today living with cerebral palsy. If you have a child in your school who has cerebral palsy, or you want to encourage your child's school to learn more about the condition in a fun and age-appropriate way, we are here to help!
Our fundraising team are happy to facilitate tailored awareness talks which can be delivered in the classroom or in assembly for the whole school. We can also offer awareness talks for staff and provide ideas for interactive games and tasks which will help pupils to understand what it might be like to live with cerebral palsy.
We can also provide CP facts posters in Welsh and English, as well as balloons and bunting for you to display with pride throughout March.
To find out more about how we can work together to raise awareness of cerebral palsy in your school and celebrate Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month together, please contact Rose Skinner, our community and events fundraiser.

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.
