St Joseph’s continues their support for Cerebral Palsy Cymru

St Joseph’s Hospital are thrilled to announce their continuous support for Cerebral Palsy Cymru’s specialist early intervention service ‘Better Start, Better Future’, for babies who have or at risk of cerebral palsy. St Joseph’s support means that 18 additional babies will be able to receive a vital early intervention therapy session this year. 

St Joseph’s Hospital’s support is needed more than ever for Cerebral Palsy Cymru as there has been a surge in referrals by 33%, meaning the demand for these services are increasing.

Over the past few years St Joseph’s Hospital and Cerebral Palsy Cymru’s relationship has gone from strength to strength. During the pandemic St Joseph’s Hospital kindly offered Cerebral Palsy Cymru to use space in the hospital to deliver face-to-face therapy sessions whilst they waited for their new children’s centre to be completed. 

Recently, the staff at St Joseph’s Hospital have participated in a great number of fundraising initiatives, including sponsoring 'Cake & Tea for CP', wearing green for Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month and arranging a charity golf day. St Joseph’s Hospital have also generously shown support for Cerebral Palsy Cymru’s 'Build A Better Future' appeal by sponsoring one of the rooms in the new children’s centre in Llanishen, Cardiff.

Abby Davies, Communication and Marketing Manager has commented, “St Joseph’s Hospital and Cerebral Palsy Cymru have worked together for a number of years. We’re thrilled to be able to continue to support the charity and the fantastic work they do. From charity days in the hospital, to golf events, we are always looking for new ways to support the local community. Their early intervention service ‘Better Start, Better Future’ enables families to gain the support they need and give the best opportunities for their future. We hope to continue the relationship with Cerebral Palsy Cymru and look forward to watching the charity grow.”

Claire Walker, Corporate Relationship Manager at Cerebral Palsy Cymru has said, “It has been a pleasure to build a relationship with the staff at St Joseph’s Hospital who are always so warm in responding to our fundraising initiatives. We cannot thank them enough for making this significant gift to our early intervention service which we’re seeing an increased demand for."

St Joseph’s Hospital look forward to further supporting Cerebral Palsy in the future with their ongoing journey as a charity.
