Helping your child thrive can feel like a big challenge, but the right support makes all the difference. At the Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists Conference, we saw so many inspiring examples of how paediatric physiotherapists are helping children with postural care every day.

One highlight was ‘Pedal Power’, a poster we presented by Abigail showing how adaptive cycling in a specialist school can give children more confidence, independence and joy. It’s a great example of the creative approaches that can open up new opportunities for children.

We loved connecting with the professionals and sharing ideas that can help children reach their full potential. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, we can’t wait to continue supporting you and your children next year! Our Vision is A Bright and Inclusive Future for all children. 🦒💛

We are fully supporting our friends and colleagues at Jenx following the recent announcement from our parent company, Jenx Ltd. They are currently still in consultation on a proposal to close manufacturing operations, this does not affect Jiraffe’s day-to-day work.

🌟 Ella’s Story at Bendrigg Trust – Inclusion in Action 🌟

Meet Ella – a 14-year-old with a passion for singing, theatre, and all things Manchester United, and an unstoppable zest for life. Ella has quadriplegic cerebral palsy and requires 24-hour postural care, but that doesn't stop her from embracing every opportunity for adventure.

This video captures a powerful moment at Bendrigg Trust where Ella and her family took part in their first active holiday since Ella's spinal surgery. With the support of the incredible Bendrigg team and the right adaptive equipment, Ella rode a Rifton Tricycle independently for the first time in years. She also had access to the Rifton HTS, helping to make the whole day more comfortable and accessible.

From archery to zip wires, Ella made the most of every accessible activity Bendrigg had to offer.

Her story is a perfect example of how adaptive equipment and inclusive environments open doors to independence, confidence, and joy.

🎥 Watch Ella's adrenaline filled day below, and read the full blog here - www.jiraffe.org.uk/blog/ella_bendrigg_trust/
