Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month: Personal injury lawyer speaks out on 'admiration' for Scotland's charity

As we mark Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month this March, I'm reminded of the incredible work being done by Cerebral Palsy Scotland. Recently, I had the privilege of visiting their facilities in Glasgow and was given a tour by their powerhouse CEO, Stephanie Fraser. 

This experience left a lasting impression on me, and, as a personal injury lawyer, I'm eager to share my admiration for this remarkable charity.

What does Celebral Palsy Scotland do?

From the moment I stepped through their doors, it was clear that Cerebral Palsy Scotland is dedicated to providing tailored support to individuals living with the condition. 

The charity's approach is refreshingly personalised, focusing on the unique needs and interests of each person they support. For instance, if a child has a passion for football, the charity finds ways to incorporate that passion into their support plan. This individualised approach not only fosters engagement but also empowers individuals to pursue their interests and dreams.

Upcoming webinar

One aspect that particularly impressed me was the range of services offered by Cerebral Palsy Scotland. In addition to their in-person support, they provide valuable resources online, including webinars. 

I'm excited to highlight an upcoming webinar - ‘Shining the Light on Sleep: The Hidden Challenges for Adults with Cerebral Palsy.’ This initiative underscores the charity’s commitment to addressing the often-overlooked aspects of living with cerebral palsy and providing comprehensive support.

Stephanie Fraser and her team are truly making a difference in the lives of those with cerebral palsy. Their dedication, innovation, and compassion are evident in every aspect of their work. It is organizations like Cerebral Palsy Scotland that inspire hope and create meaningful change in our communities.

How to support

As we continue to raise awareness this month, I encourage everyone to learn more about cerebral palsy and support the incredible efforts of charities like Cerebral Palsy Scotland. 

Together, we can make a difference and ensure that individuals with cerebral palsy receive the support and opportunities they deserve.
