At Stick ‘n’ Step, every step is a victory, and every child is a superhero in the making! We're not just a charity, we’re a family, a team, and a launchpad for children with cerebral palsy to reach new heights.

Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition that affects muscle control, coordination, and posture. For the children we support, this often means struggling with everyday tasks most take for granted. Many face difficulty walking, speaking clearly, feeding themselves, or using their hands to hold a pencil or get dressed. Some live with chronic pain, muscle stiffness, or involuntary movements, making even the smallest action a huge effort. Others face social isolation or low self-esteem because they can’t join in as easily with their peers.

Now imagine a place where those challenges are met with strength, smiles, and unwavering support. That’s what happens every day at Stick ‘n’ Step. Through free Conductive Education sessions, we work with over 120 children and young people across the Northwest of England. Our mission is not just to support movement, but to build confidence, independence, and a sense of possibility.

Led by expert practitioners, our sessions help children develop physical abilities, communication, and essential life skills. They learn to dress themselves, walk with pride, play with friends, and go to school feeling included and capable. And their families grow stronger with them, gaining encouragement, community, and hope.

We are now seeking support to create a sensory garden at our Wallasey centre, on the Wirral. This vibrant, interactive outdoor space will allow children to explore nature, plant flowers, and experience the joy of gardening. Activities in the garden will support motor skills, coordination, and emotional wellbeing, while the sights, smells, and textures offer calming sensory input.
It’s more than a garden - it’s a safe space for learning, growth, and connection. With your help, we can make it blossom.
