Cerebral Palsy Scotland works with children, adults and whole families across the country to help them build skills, knowledge, confidence and relationships, enabling them to overcome barriers that may exist as a result of their condition.

To help sustain its vital services, Cerebral Palsy Scotland has secured new funding for its support work through a new partnership with Slater and Gordon. The law firm works widely with families across Scotland who live with Cerebral Palsy, and also is a longstanding partner of Cerebral Palsy Scotland’s sister charity in Wales, CP Cymru.

“Support services are absolutely vital for people living with Cerebral Palsy and our ambition is to help as many people as we possibly can,” said Stephanie Fraser, CEO of Cerebral Palsy Scotland.

She added: “Through this fantastic partnership with Slater and Gordon, we are able to sustain our support service, and will look to develop it further as we grow as a charity. The services families want and need continue to evolve, and we want to be in a position to deliver what they need.”

Derek Couper, head of clinical negligence in Scotland, said: “Cerebral Palsy Scotland plays an outstanding role in helping people across the country affected by the condition, and without them, tailored support would be very hard to come by.

“Their own research shows the struggle that people experience in finding the resources and understanding they need to navigate their lives – which makes the work of this charity absolutely invaluable.”
