What we do at Rainbow
We inspire, motivate and enable those affected by neurological conditions
Here at the centre we support children, adults and those caring for them, who are affected by Cerebral Palsy, stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and head injuries. We do this through a system of learning called Conductive Education and by providing information and signposting.
Participants are encouraged to take an active role in their own development, learning new ways to become active and happy individuals who are proud of their own achievements and ready for life’s challenges. We focus on what they CAN DO and help them to reach their full potential.

I am very good at keeping my balance whilst holding my arm out straight, so I can play with the skating penguin on the ice.
Wat people say about us
"Fin has generally changed and developed in every way possible. He is more confident and settled in his groups and the routine of the sessions has helped him be more settled in other situations. His interaction with other and his surroundings have also improved. Fin's physical development has greatly improved in all areas, but most noticeably his willingness to learn and stay motivated."
- Carly Lyons - Fin's Mum"Since attending Rainbow I am more confident in walking - rarely using my cane nowadays. I know I can slow the progress of PD by using Conductive Education techniques, it promulgates an attitude that you CAN improve your body."
- Pauline - PD Group" My first visit to the Rainbow Centre we experienced a smile and welcome; this applied to every member of staff from the office to the service - very nice positive people.
My shoulder pain has almost gone, sleeping better, signs that my arm is awakening. There is a long haul ahead but I AM optimistic of some degree of recovery. "
