Cerebral Palsy Midlands have started to reopen our day service to adults with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.   We have had to adapt to a new way of working with new procedures and protcols to keep our community of adults with disabilities safe.   We currently have a mixture of face to face, outreach work and online activities available as our service offering. We are doing all we can to ensure our people are supported in the best way possible.   Please CLICK HERE to find out about the phased reopening and measures we have put in place to do this.
