Supporting the wellbeing and mental health of people with cerebral palsy

The Pixel Fund is helping Cerebral Palsy Scotland to employ a Clinical Psychologist to meet the mental health and wellbeing needs of people with cerebral palsy that they support.

Cerebral Palsy Scotland is a charity that improves the lives of children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP) through specialist therapy, support and information.

A lifelong condition, cerebral palsy results from an injury to the infant brain that causes disruption to the development of movement, posture and balance. Around 150 children in Scotland are diagnosed with CP every year.

Bobath Scotland Update

Since 2013 Bobath Scotland has had a successful partnership with the Pixel Fund. Receiving a total of £19,000 over the past 6 years Bobath Scotland has been able to provide therapy to hundreds of children from across Scotland living with cerebral palsy.

Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in children. 1 in 450 children are diagnosed with CP and it can affect every aspect of daily life for them, and their parents and siblings. Many children with CP will never walk or talk, for others their condition may be mild but problems with balance can mean falling over in the playground more often than their peers or difficulty getting around school each day. No two people experience this incurable condition in the same way.
