Our Story
MOVE Europe is a UK based charity that works tirelessly to ensure profoundly disabled young people get the chance to live healthy and happy lives. Our charity was founded in 1997 after a team of professionals visited the USA and saw the amazing outcomes of the MOVE Programme for disabled children there. They realised there was a huge amount to do back in the UK to provide disabled children with more opportunities and a better quality of life.
Our charity’s aim is to offer movement opportunities to disabled young people, enabling them to access the world around them. We currently work with 115 special schools across the UK and also work in some areas of Europe, training hundreds of education and therapy professionals every year in the MOVE Programme.
The MOVE Programme is an activity based practice that enables disabled young people to gain independent movement. It uses the combined approach of education, therapy and family knowledge to teach the skills of sitting, standing, walking and transitioning between. Gaining these vital movement skills has life-changing outcomes for the 1,050 disabled young people who are using the MOVE Programme.
