An amazing 8-year-old boy is the inspiration behind a campaign to set up a centre that aims to get disabled children walking for the first time

The Freddie Farmer Foundation was formed in February 2011 to raise £250,000 to set up a specialised physiotherapy centre in south-east London for children and young people with cerebral palsy and serious mobility problems. The inspiration behind it all is eight-year-old Freddie Farmer who was born at 28 weeks with cerebral palsy, weighing just 2lb 12oz. 

At present, Freddie goes to a specialist centre near Oxford three times a year for three weeks of treatment, travelling there and back every day. The treatment includes a “Spider” – elasticated ropes that allow Freddie and the other children to get vital support as they do their exercises. The Spider would be the single most important piece of equipment when the local centre is developed.

Freddie Farmer Foundation is a Registered Charity. Registered Charity No: 1140588
