2026: The Year of the Horse

Welcome to 2026!

Welcome to the Year of the Horse! This year is all about energy, confidence and moving forward - and that’s exactly what CP Teens UK is about too. In 2026, we’re focusing on helping confidence, encouraging people to try new things, and enabling you to connect with other youngsters/young adults who get it. With exciting new initiatives, meet-ups and opportunities coming up, this is a year to go at your own pace, in your own way - but always moving forward together.

Sheffield Social - ALL PLACES GONE!

All places on the upcoming Sheffield Social on Saturday 31st January have now gone - we're sorry for any disappointment caused if you were wanting to join us!

Our Sheffield Socials are extremely popular. We aim to do another one in the spring/summer.

Workshops - in-person and online
