Story
The Jolly Holly Heath Run is a festive 5k fun run that anyone can take part in, any time, any where, any how, even during lockdown. The campaign will be running from 20 November until 20 December and all proceeds will go towards helping children and young people who have cerebral palsy.
All you need to do is register with kelly@sticknstep.org and donate £20 to the page to register your place. You will need to record your 5k run using any running app that you can find in any app store on your mobile device. Send this through to us and we will send you a certificate of appreciationg and keep you informed about how much has been raised.
You, your friends, colleagues and families donations to this event go directly towards the running costs of Stick 'n' Step.
Stick 'n' Step
Stick n Step is a charity that enables, inspires and supports children with cerebral palsy and their families . We support children and young people with cerebral palsy up to the age of 25 through the provision of free weekly conductive education (CE) sessions.
Our sessions are delivered by highly skilled professionals from our specialist centres in Wallasey and Runcorn and are designed to help each child reach their personal potential in terms of mobility, confidence, and independence.
Conductive education is based on a simple concept of human potential; meaning that everyone has the capability to learn and develop irrespective of their starting point
Disabled children are often assessed for what they cannot do rather than what potential they have. Conductors are specialists that are trained to observe this potential in a child; to nurture their development and devise structured programmes to enable success. CE combines education, psychology and medical science and considers all aspects of the person simultaneously.
CE Sessions at Stick n Step
Stick n Step sessions incorporate play, mobility tasks and songs to develop functional skills. Children and young people work in small groups based on their ability; this creates a positive environment where children are motivated to learn whilst having fun.
We are so grateful to the classroom team at Stick n Step, they have definitely changed James life for the better and encouraged him to achieve so many things that we never thought would be possible.
