We support children and adults living with neurological conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Strokes, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's and Brain Injury. We believe that everyone has the right to achieve their true potential; we believe in ability, not disability! As well as offering a special needs education for children age 3-18 years, we also provide a method of support called Conductive Education, which teaches our children and adults to achieve the greatest level of independence. We teach life-changing skills such as sitting, standing, walking, speaking, communication and self-care. We also deliver an Adult Sessional Programme, were we support those living with the effects of a Stroke, MS, Parkinson's and Brain Injury. In these sessions, we re-teach the skills which have been lost due to their illness. We are currently supporting 78 families and the demand for our services continues to grow. Over the last three years, we've had to turn away over 100 families who wish to use the school as we simply do not have the capacity! All of this is about to change: -We no longer want to turn families away who need our support. -We want a welcoming school without leaky roofs as our children and adults deserve so much better! -We want A New Home for Paces. We have recently launched a fundraising campaign to build a brand-new school and centre for our children adults and families. Our new facility will be a Centre of Excellence for Conductive Education and will include a Hydrotherapy Pool, Sports Hall, Sensory Gardens, Cafe, therapy rooms, life-skills rooms, overnight respite and much more! To achieve this, we need to raise 3.5 million to build a brand-new school and centre which will allow us to support up to three times as many families so any donations received will make a huge difference to our fundraising target.
