About

CP Teens UK is a charity dedicated to supporting youngsters & adults in the UK with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and physical disabilities. We provide 'help, hope, inspiration & friendship' through social activities, initiatives & events with the aim of giving a platform for connection and personal growth. CP Teens UK aims to help empower individuals with Cerebral Palsy and physical disabilities, enabling them to network, make friends, share their experiences, and develop skills that boost their confidence and independence.

​

At its heart, CP Teens UK runs from real-life first-hand experience, which is what makes the charity unique. Founded by Ellie Simpson, who has Cerebral Palsy, when she was 18-years-old after experiencing social isolation from able-bodied peers throughout her teenage years, the charity is about creating a sense of belonging, building confidence, and helping people with Cerebral Palsy & physical disabilities lead fuller & more enriched lives. The charity’s commitment to providing meaningful opportunities for social & personal development, and connecting youngsters & adults with shared experiences continues to inspire its work, making a lasting impact on the lives of those it serves.

"CP Teens UK is an encouraging, respectful organisation that is the voice for those with CP & physical disabilities whom may not have the ability to speak up for themselves."
