Bobath Scotland

How You Can Help

Bobath Scotland Children's Therapy Centre relies on the donations and the fundraising efforts of our friends and supporters to enable us to provide specialist Bobath therapy to children throughout Scotland who have cerebral palsy.

We need to generate over Ł500,000 in voluntary income per annum to run our centre and provide ongoing therapy – and that’s no mean feat for our small fundraising team.
