Stick 'n' Step: Empowering Children with Cerebral Palsy

Stick 'n' Step is a non-profit organization that has been providing support and education to children and young people with cerebral palsy, as well as their families, for over 20 years. The organization operates across North West England and North Wales, offering a range of services that aim to empower children with cerebral palsy to reach their full potential.

Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition that affects movement and coordination. It can be caused by brain damage before, during or after birth. Children with cerebral palsy often face significant challenges in their daily lives, including difficulties with mobility, communication and social interaction.

Stick 'n' Step recognizes the unique needs of children with cerebral palsy and provides tailored support to help them overcome these challenges. The organization offers free conductive education sessions for children aged 0-18 years old. Conductive education is an innovative approach that focuses on developing the child's physical abilities through structured exercises.

The conductive education sessions are led by highly trained professionals who work closely with each child to develop an individualized program based on their specific needs. The sessions are designed to improve the child's balance, coordination, strength and independence.

In addition to conductive education sessions, Stick 'n' Step also provides support for parents and carers of children with cerebral palsy. This includes regular parent workshops where they can learn more about the condition and how best to support their child's development.

Stick 'n' Step also offers a range of social activities for families affected by cerebral palsy. These include family fun days out, holiday clubs and residential trips where families can connect with others who understand what they are going through.

The impact of Stick 'n' Step's work cannot be overstated. For many families affected by cerebral palsy in North West England and North Wales, Stick 'n' Step is a lifeline. The organization provides a safe and supportive environment where children with cerebral palsy can thrive, and their families can access the support they need to navigate the challenges of living with this condition.

Stick 'n' Step is funded entirely by donations from individuals, businesses and charitable trusts. The organization relies on the generosity of its supporters to continue providing its vital services to children with cerebral palsy and their families.

If you are looking for a way to make a real difference in the lives of children with cerebral palsy, then supporting Stick 'n' Step is an excellent place to start. Whether you choose to donate money or volunteer your time, your support will help empower these amazing young people to achieve their full potential.
