The Glenys Evans Family Support Fund
Having a child with cerebral palsy affects the whole family.
At Cerebral Palsy Cymru, giving babies the best possible start in life and supporting their families is at the heart of everything we do. Our specialist early intervention service, ‘Better Start, Better Future’ is a unique service in the UK, combining specialist therapy and family support.
The Glenys Evans Family Support Fund was launched in Autumn 2024 to honour Glenys’ astonishing legacy of setting up Cerebral Palsy Cymru in 1992 and, in doing so, enabling thousands of families across Wales to access our specialist therapy and support services. The fund will help protect and sustain our vital family support service to ensure that families living with cerebral palsy can access life-changing advice, emotional support and counselling.
Help us support every family that needs us
We know that having a child with cerebral palsy affects the whole family, which is why we are committed to making our services available to any family who needs us.
By making a gift to The Glenys Evans Family Support Fund, you will ensure that our specialist early intervention and family support service can be sustained. Every donation will help empower families by increasing their knowledge and understanding of cerebral palsy, as well as helping us to improve a family’s emotional and mental well-being through early 1:1 specialist support.

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.
