Opening of UK Workshop

The Grand Opening was great fun with lots of visitors - over 70 but we lost countSue introducing Archie Hinchcliffe from Cerebral Palsy Africa who had come as guest of honour

to cut the paper bunting 'ribbon'. In her speech she explained that the Paper Furniture is a vital part of Cerebral Palsy Africa's work.

"I want to make it clear that I believe making equipment out of waste paper and cardboard is a pillar of CPA.

Without the opportunity to practise sitting and standing and being supported in good positions so as to be able to learn to use their hands many children with cerebral palsy cannot progress. They can have the best therapy anyone in the world has to offer but without these pieces of equipment they will not learn to put the benefits of the therapy into use to function better. That is why the work of PFSE is fundamental to what we in Cerebral Palsy Africa hope to achieve."
