Established in 2020 by David Lofthouse, then a teenager with quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, and a close handful of school friends, The Cerebral Palsy Trust strives to improve the livelihoods of children affected by Cerebral Palsy through life-changing surgeries and social empowerment.
With our multifaceted approach, we are able to touch the lives of as many affected children as possible - no matter the severity of their condition.
The majority of capital raised by the CPT provides children with access to Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy surgeries, a groundbreaking procedure reducing spasticity (tightness of muscle) and dramatically increasing quality of life.
Not publicly funded by the NHS for those with quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, the implicated costs can be overwhelming for many families. The CPT, through a strategic partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital For Children, proudly provides economic assistance to those children with quadriplegic CP through 100% funding grants.
Surgery can only go so far to improving lived experience, hence the CPT has established ‘Inspire Days’ for children and parents, designed to provide friendship, parental-connections, and a sense of normality.
Run by children at Wellington College only a few years older, the CPT holds a variety of inspire days throughout the year, fostering brilliant relationships between the children and parents. Through this, the CPT endeavours to function as the first stage of support for these children, to provide the confidence, sense of self, and friendships required to pursue fulfilled, happy lives.
