Welcome to Paces
Paces, based at High Green in North Sheffield, was founded by parents of children with Cerebral Palsy in 1997 and has worked ever since to support those families, children and adults who are living with neurological conditions.
We offer innovative conductive education programmes to help transform their lives.
For Children
Our Outstanding School is a national leader in educating those with motor disorders. We support you at every step of your journey – from funding and identifying needs to help at home and school.
For Adults
We support progression from childhood to adulthood, equipping young people living with Cerebral Palsy with skills for daily living and the confidence and self-esteem they need to be as successful and independent as possible.
For Families
Families are at the heart of what we do at Paces. Our work recognises the fact that by addressing a family’s needs, the family is then empowered to manage the circumstances that arise around their disabled child.
Although Paces receives some statutory funding to deliver contracted services, grant funding, donations and sponsorship’s make a huge difference to the children, adults and families we support, allowing us to:
- Offer a variety of support services which would otherwise not be possible (e.g. family support, home visits and outings).
- Buy specialist equipment, enabling children and adults to achieve the highest level of independence in life.
Every pound raised on our behalf makes a significant difference to the lives of the children, adults and families we support, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you in advance for all of your efforts.
