CEBristol CIC are a not for profit organisation which supports children and adults with neurological movement disorders (including but not limited to Cerebral Palsy) across not only Bristol, but also across Wiltshire and beyond. 

During CE sessions we work on developing each individuals gross and fine motor skills, transferring skills, communication skills, self care skills, problem solving skills and confidence. 

Developing motivation, engagement and self esteem is equally vitally important for children with additional needs - access to animals during animal therapy sessions can provide this. During the last 6 years we have accessed animal therapy provisions across Wiltshire and Bristol during school holidays with the children and adults we work with; with great success! Multiple studies have found that being around animals can improve mood by decreasing feelings of anxiety and stress. Animal assisted therapy has also been found to increase engagement, confidence, motivation, social interaction and physical activity. 

We are loving having our new feathery and hairy staff members on our team and being able to bring the joy and therapeutic benefits of animal therapy to the children and adults we work with on a regular basis and to children and adults in our local community who can benefit.

Your support as a one off or regular donation helps to fund the ongoing costs of looking after animals (food, vets and care) and enables us to bring the animals to the children and adults that can benefit most at a affordable cost.
