Help, hope, inspiration & friendship
CP Teens UK supports young people with Cerebral Palsy and physical disabilities, starting from around the age of 14-years-old and continuing into adulthood. Occasionally, we do hold events & initiatives open to younger children.
​
CP Teens UK welcomes individuals with all levels of Cerebral Palsy and physical disability.
Our Structure
CP Teenies
CP Teenies is for children from 0-8 years and is here to support parents & families after diagnosis. Advice from real-life families who have gone through the diagnosis stage and live with Cerebral Palsy on a daily basis can be given. This can provide such hope and inspiration at a difficult time. Please get in touch if you feel this would be of benefit.​​
CP Teens
Our core age group at CP Teens UK is 14-25 years. Youngsters from age 14 can join in with our main events, activities & initiatives, although this is flexible - in some cases, it might be appropriate for a youngster to get involved prior to their 14th birthday, whereas other youngsters might not be ready until they are a little bit older.
​​
Our core age group stems from why CP Teens UK was set-up in the first place - to connect youngsters with Cerebral Palsy/physical disabilities to ensure that they don't feel alone and to provide socials and opportunities. We host events, activities & initiatives both in-person and online.
CP Tweens
CP Teens UK recognises that children with Cerebral Palsy & similar disabilities between the ages of 8 and 13 years need support, yet they are too young to use the internet & social media. 'CP Tweens' are welcome to join our big, multi-age events, such as our disability sport 'Have A Go' Days. Often, attending such events provide them with confidence as they look up to people who are slightly older than them, yet share similar difficulties.
CP +
We offer a limited number of services for people with Cerebral Palsy/physical disabilities who are 25-years and above.
​
We recognise that our 'CP Teens' become older and go into adulthood, yet still need support and continuing social opportunities. In 2022, CP Teens UK expanded to accommodate our youngsters who have reached their 26th birthday. You can still participate in our core age-group events, activities & initiatives up until your 26th birthday.
​
18's and over are also very welcome to join in with CP+ events, activities & initiatives if they wish to mix with other adults.
