UP – The Adult Cerebral Palsy Movement

Up - The Adult CP Movement

A movement for change, led by adults with cerebral palsy

UP – The Adult Cerebral Palsy Movement is more than an organisation—it’s a growing national movement dedicated to improving support, visibility, and opportunities for adults living with cerebral palsy.

For too long, adult voices in the CP community have been underrepresented. UP is changing that by bringing people together, sharing knowledge, and driving meaningful change in healthcare, policy, and everyday life.
