Go Green for CP!
Throughout March we will be 'Going Green for CP' and we would love it if you could join us!
Green is the official colour for cerebral palsy awareness as it reflects youthfulness and new growth, as well as hope for advancements in treatment and acceptance.
Wear green in March
One of the easiest ways for you to show your support for Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month is to wear green one day in March. Why not organise an office dress down day or an own clothes day at school?
You can make wearing green even more impactful by asking everyone taking part to donate £1 to help fund our vital therapy and support services.
You can either make a one-off donation via our donate to help page or by texting GOGREEN to 70085 to donate £1 via TextGiving.
If you are feeling inspired and would like to organise a 'Go Green for CP' day during March, we would love to hear from you! Complete this short form to tell us what you're planning!
Purchase a pin badge or wristband to show your support
This year we are thrilled to be selling awareness ribbons, wristbands and green t-shirts for people to wear with pride throughout March.
The money raised from the sale of these items will help fund our life-changing therapy for babies and children across Wales living with cerebral palsy.
Visit our online shop to purchase these items!
Light up the sky across Wales
Whether it's a theatre, arts venue, castle, local monument or state building, light it up green on the 25th of March for World Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day!
Let's illuminate the sky of Wales together for the 6,000+ people living with cerebral palsy in Wales today.

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.
