The Pace Centre

Who we are

Since 1990, Pace has been changing the lives of babies, children and young people with a neurodisability like cerebral palsy. The unique Pace approach puts children and their families at the heart of everything we do. We run a therapy centre, as well as a specialist school in Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, and provide online resources and support.

Our culture and values

We want every child in the UK with a neurodisability, and their family, to have access to educational and clinical support that is aligned with the Pace approach.

To that end, we work very intentionally to share our expertise, to train other providers and practitioners and to campaign for better provision.

Our values are:

Child and family centred - we always place the children, young people and families we support at the very heart of all that we do

Innovative - we are creative problem-solvers, both in meeting the needs of our children, young people and families, and organisationally

Specialist - we are committed to achieving and continually advancing best practice in our field. We are intellectually curious and always seek to learn

Dedicated - the dedication of our staff and volunteers is greater than one finds in many organisations. We believe that this is an important part of our success

Compassionate - our practice is always informed by a sense of intelligent compassion for the children and families we support and by deep respect for each other. Intelligent compassion is always informed by what is in the best long-term interests of the child and the family and Pace’s long-term sustainability

Aspirational - we aspire to the very best outcomes for our children, young people and families. We aspire to be the best we can be, both as individuals and as an organisation
