Situation
Providing early intervention is vital for a baby’s future life outcomes because if missed this window of opportunity can never be regained. The pandemic has had a disproportionate effect on children and families living with cerebral palsy, the most common physical disability in children, making our services and support for our Better Start Better Future programme all the more vital. Since March 2020 we have had 74 new babies referred to us, and all of these children deserve a chance to thrive.
Solution
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.
