As a parent of a baby with cerebral palsy you are often told to wait and see how your child develops. This wait can be stressful and emotional for the parent but also detrimental for the child’s future. Evidence tells us that providing early intervention treatment as soon as possible is vital for a baby’s future outcomes. If missed this window of opportunity can never be regained. Around 70 babies in Wales are born every year who will have cerebral palsy; every baby needs this chance to thrive.

By supporting our Better Start, Better Future Appeal you will help fund our early intervention service for babies born at high risk of cerebral palsy. This vital service will improve the physical and emotional development of these babies helping improve their future outcomes such as being able to crawl, walk and communicate. You’ll also be giving their parents a better understanding of their condition and crucially, hope and a way forward in what can be the most difficult time of their lives
