This is CP is an opportunity for you to tell everyone what it means to live with Cerebral Palsy and help them understand that every CP journey is different.
All you have to do is answer the questions on our form – we’ll do the rest!
To say thank you for taking the time to share your story, one lucky Cerebral Palsy Society member will go in the draw to win a $50 Z Energy gift card!
The winner will be drawn, at random, on Monday November 2.

Workplaces

Ask your workplace to Go Green and Give Gold to raise awareness and show your support of Cerebral Palsy!
It can be as simple as hosting a green-themed morning tea or wearing green to work. You can collect gold coin donations – but why stop there?! How about a raffle to win the boss’s carpark for a week? 

Perhaps you’d like an online presentation from a Cerebral Palsy Society staff member at your Be Green & Be Seen event?
It’s a great way for your colleagues to learn a little more about Cerebral Palsy and how Be Green & Be Seen plays an important part in spreading the word about inclusivity and raising funds for our vital programmes.

Resources
