We weren't prepared for the diagnosis. At that moment I thought Brendan had no future, that he would never experience the life other children and parents take for granted. Our Scope worker Suzanne wasn't patronising; she talked to me like an understanding friend. I knew then that with her help, my son could achieve anything

Scope is a national charity supporting people with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is the most commonly diagnosed physical condition in the UK, and occurs around the time of birth when part of the brain fails to develop properly.
The time of diagnosis can be especially difficult for parents and Scope's national network of response workers help provide practical and emotional support. By taking part in a Scope event you are helping children like Brendan to get a better start in life. See how you can make a difference.
Scope was one of the very first charities to organise overseas events back in 1996 and so our Events Team has a huge amount of expertise. We offer lots of advice and support with your fundraising. Our experience in setting up and running these events means we can offer accurate advice on everything you might be worried about: from travelling and training, to camping and what kit to take. Please call us on 020 7619 7100.
