Bobath Children’s Therapy Centre Wales

Annual Review and Impact Report 2013/14

Registered Charity: 1010183

OUR AIMS AND ASPIRATIONS

Our mission is to deliver world class Bobath therapy to as many children with cerebral palsy in Wales as possible. To do this, we constantly strive to extend our reach, both directly by offering therapy to more children, and indirectly by working with community therapy teams to add to their knowledge base and skills in treating children with cerebral palsy.We provide therapy at no cost to families. The service is funded either by health board referral or by our charitable funds, which our dedicated fundraising team and volunteers work hard to raise each year.

Our strategic plan includes the following key objectives:

• Offertherapytomorechildren• Developnewmodelsofservice• EquityofaccessacrossWales• Offeraservicetoolderteenagers and young adults• Workinpartnershipwithcommunity therapy teams • Shareourspecialistknowledge through courses and other means• Continualqualityimprovement• Developsupporters’groups • Expandourretailactivities

Bobath Therapy in Wales

2

In a study (2002) of populations of children in Europe including the UK, theprevalence rate of CP was found to be2.08 per 1000 live births. No data exists on the exact number of children in Wales who have cerebral palsy, but we estimate from statistics and our own records that there may be as many as 1800. At Bobath Children’s Therapy Centre Wales, wecurrently have around 450 children on our caseload.

The Bobath approach to the management of children with cerebral palsy was pioneered and developed by Dr Kareland Mrs Berta Bobath. Originating in the 1940’s, the Bobath Concept is nowwellknown and accepted in many countries as one of the leading approaches.

The main aim of treatment is to encourage and increase thechild’sability tomove,function and participate in life and society. Typical movement has developed to enable us to move in the most effective and efficient way possible and Bobaththerapists’ understanding of typicaldevelopment and typical movement allows them to use this knowledge and understanding to help and support the development of children who have cerebral palsy. Bobath therapy considers thechild’sdevelopmentandretentionofskillsacrossthelifespan.Specifichandlingskills help improve biomechanical alignment and muscle length or alter effort to make more complex typical movements possible, giving children enhanced movement opportunities and experience, thus promoting function and independence.

Chairman’smessage

2013-14 was the year in which we celebrated 21 years of Bobath in Wales. A huge thank you must be extended to the founder families, and so many others, who generously gave their time and energytogettheCentreinWhitchurchupandrunningallthoseyearsago.FromsmallbeginningsIthinkyouwillagreetheCentreas you see it today has come a long way!

Yes, there have been challenges along the way and no doubt, many more to come, but regular feedback from grateful families istestimonytothewonderfulachievementsmadeattheCentre.Iam honoured to be part of such a life-changing organisation.

One of our key values is to be positive and to focus on ability, not disability. This is a fundamental principle and can be seen in action every day in the efforts of staff, volunteers, the children and families themselves.

The future remains an uncertain landscape full of operational and financialchallenges.WeneverrestonourlaurelsatBobathandIurge you to join us in supporting this wonderful charity and help us to ensure its future remains safe for many years to come.

Our results are shown in the following pages. I would like to thank my fellow trustees, the staff and volunteers, and all of our funders and supporters, fortheircontributiontoWales’“MostAdmiredCharity2013”.

Service delivery

This year I am delighted to report that not only did we provide therapy to 309 children and young people, we did this through an innovative mix of service models. We constantly look for ways to satisfy demand whilst still working to the standards youwouldexpectinaCentreofExcellence.

Thank YouI would like to thank our staff, trustees and volunteers for all their hardworkthisyear.Wecouldn’tdo it without you! If you have a moment, take a look at our “Thank You” video on YouTube,specially produced for our 21st year.JenniferCarrollMAMCSPSRP

This year we built on our pioneering work on goal-setting with children who have cerebral palsy. This is innovative work because of the difficulty in setting standardmeasures for improvement in cerebral palsy that are relevant to every child.

For each child, specific goalsare set in agreement with the child and their parents or carers. A rangeofprojectedoutcomesisalsopredicted,sothatthechild’sachievement can be evaluated as either on target, below target, or above target.

This allows us to assess outcomes to a high level of detail, based ongoalstailoredtoeachchild. In2013-14,80.64%ofgoalsweremet or exceeded by the children. We are sharing this model with international colleagues and feedback has been very encouraging.

Sharing Knowledge

We know we do not have the capacity to offer therapy to every child in Wales who has cerebral palsy. Our waiting list continues to present a challenge, and although we are developing new service models to tackle this, it is likely that we will not be able to see every child on our caseload as often as we would like.

There are also children across Wales who have cerebral palsy, but haveneverbeen referredto theCentre.Wewould like themtoaccessgoodqualityBobaththerapyaswebelieveeverychildcanbenefit,nomatterhowmildorcomplextheircondition.Withthisinmind, we have again this year shared our specialist knowledge
