The Rainbow Centre provides help and support to children with Cerebral Palsy.

The Rainbow Centre was created by a small group of parents looking to provide the best help and support they could for their children with Cerebral Palsy. That search led to finding Conductive Education, a system of learning based on the simple concept of human potential that everyone has the capability to learn and develop, irrespective of their starting point. This is the Rainbow Centre’s DNA and over 30 years, the secret of our neuro rehabilitation success.

Recovering from a period of poor mental health can feel overwhelming as there may be obstacles to navigate and new anxieties before gaining back your independence.

Our Community Peer Recovery Team (or CPRT for short) can offer you the help that you need to set manageable goals, access the support you need and start getting back on your feet.

Our support is special because our staff have their own lived experience of living with a mental health issue. As well as practical advice, we can share our own stories, experiences, provide hope and become a role model in your time of need.

The Into Work service aims to help people with a learning disability to build their confidence and independence to overcome any hurdles people face in getting a job.
