Every year Bonfire Night can be problematical for people with Cerebral Palsy due to having a startle reflex (medical term - moro reflex). Everybody is born with a moro reflex but usually outgrow it by 6-months-old. Typically people with Cerebral Palsy do not outgrow the moro reflex due to the damage in the brain.

​

- Order your FREE pamper pack from CP Teens UK (male & female available) here: https://forms.gle/aYJ3EoehxamK2yHn6

- On Bonfire Night, get cosy, shut your curtains, turn the music/TV on and get stuck into your pamper pack!

- Join the conversation on social media using #NoBangsBonfireNight and include photos!

Tuesday 6th October, 5-6pm

We are bringing back our popular virtual catch up on Tuesday 6th October, World CP Day at 5pm – 6pm.  

CP Sport and CP Teens UK are joining forces once again following the popular ‘coffee and chat’ lockdown series from May - September. This will be a chance to 'meet' up with other people with Cerebral Palsy aged 13-25. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian please. 

​

It is World CP Day so please wear green if you can (the colour associated with Cerebral Palsy awareness). If you are getting involved in Move As One at 1pm, we’d love to hear what activity you did, and we also want to hear about how you Make Your Mark.  

Please register via CP Sport:
