Supporting children and young adults with Cerebral Palsy.
Find out about the different ways you can support our work
Our purpose is to provide support for children and young adults, families and institutions affected by Cerebral Palsy through the provision of essential equipment and support services.
Equipment
We help fund equipment such as specialist tricycles, walking frames, wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and seating aids.
Therapy
We consider applications for different types of therapy, such as physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and music therapy.
Electronic Aids
We provide or contribute towards computers and other devices for children in schools, including specialist communication devices.
Empowering independence
We support other charities like Designability, creators of Wizzybugs. Their loan scheme provides innovative powered wheelchairs, free of charge, to young physically disabled children in the UK. Children use Wizzybugs at home and at pre-school, and in outdoor spaces such as parks, gardens and playgrounds.
Designability have built over 500 Wizzybugs for their loan scheme, supporting 1,000 families since the loan scheme began in 2011.
Inspiring Stories
"I have never let my CP hold me back and have actively played sport since I was 5 years old (Wheelchair Tennis since I was 11). Just like many other children I have had dreams of playing sport to the highest level, living with a disability does not change that. Quite simply without the support of great organisations like the Cheyne Charity reaching those goals would not be possible. I am so incredibly grateful you choose to believe in me."
Joshua Johns, GB Wheelchair Tennis Player
