Cerebal Palsy Wales (Formerly Bobath Children’s Therapy Centre) is a national centre of excellence for families in Wales with children who have cerebral palsy. Their specialist team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists work together to offer transdisciplinary skills, so each child, benefits from their combined expertise.

"We are a school that caters for a wide and diverse range of differently able pupils.

You'll find a school that is positive, warm and welcoming.  A school that has the most fantastic range of facilities and staff with a 'can do' attitude.

We work with every child as an individual ensuring that their educational and therapeutic needs are met so that they can flourish both within our school and when they leave

Our vision is simple -  'Potential, Opportunity, Achievement'

Ty Celyn Sunday Club is for children and young people with disabilities.  It meets every Sunday during term time and encourages children to take part in many activities both at the Club and on trips to sporting events, theatre, cinema etc.


Any SWCCC member can submit a charitable bid, for consideration by the committee and potential support from the club. 

So get your bids in early to be considered from any surplus receipts from the next Classics show.  

Particular preference will be towards project centred bids, on behalf of locally based charities, for whom a three figure donation will make a significant impact.
