World CP Day

World Cerebral Palsy Day is a global movement bringing together people with cerebral palsy, their families, supporters and partner organisations. Held on October 6, the day raises awareness, celebrates the community and encourages action toward a more inclusive world. Its message, #UniqueAndUnited, recognises that every person’s experiences and priorities are different, while highlighting the strength of sharing voices and advocating together.

The movement invites individuals and communities to get involved, share stories and call for changes that matter to people with cerebral palsy. Its website provides information about cerebral palsy, community stories, resources and ways to participate or partner with the initiative. Visitors can explore personal experiences from around the world, follow campaign updates, and learn how to raise awareness locally. Cerebral palsy is described as a lifelong physical disability caused by an injury to the developing brain, with effects on movement, walking or communication that vary from person to person.
