Cerebral Palsy Midlands is a Birmingham based charity that has empowered and supported people with cerebral palsy and other related disabilities from across the West Midlands since 1947.
We strive to empower people in their everyday lives, to promote independence and for people to make their own choices. We support people in developing their talents and skills, regardless of disability, and gaining fulfilment through achievement.
Our main work is running a community centre in Harborne, Birmingham, which provides much needed daycare, activities, training and educational courses to adults over the age of 19. We host local community groups, our own social club called "Pathfinders", plus we organise short break holidays throughout the year.
We also have an informed advocacy and advice service called "URconnectABLE". Our Social Work Team supports people and their families and carers with many issues, such as accessing supported/independent living, benefit applications, care planning, accessing services and general welfare issues. Our Social Work Team also advocates fully for individuals who feel that they cannot represent themselves.
