The Bramley Hill Centre provides a friendly environment, with work and occupational health facilities for people with cerebral palsy and allied conditions.

Up to 60 adults from 18 years of age onward, with moderate to very severe disabilities, attend Bramley Hill, coming mainly from Croydon and surrounding boroughs. Centre members are funded to attend Bramley Hill by local authority sponsorship, but this funding is unable to meet all the financial needs of running the Centre.

The aim of the centre is to encourage confidence, develop skills and to motivate the individual to use their abilities to the full. The means of achieving these aims are; regular reviews and assessments of each individual’s needs and objectives, then providing the necessary stimulus of activities and suitable therapy where needed.

Facilities include two classrooms for adult education and a well-equipped physiotherapy department.

By using the combined skills of physiotherapy, living skills lessons and basic education, we are hopefully co-ordinating all the needs of the members to achieve a better day - to - day existence.



Independent living skills are taught on an individual basis in the training kitchen and a Social Worker is available to help all the Centre members with any problems they may have.

Bramley Hill has three workshops, offering a variety of work skills from light engineering, including packing and assembly, to light clerical work. The income from the work performed is distributed to the members in the form of an earning disregard.

Bramley Hill runs a social skills group on a voluntary basis, helping many members to use facilities in the community and to gain confidence and self - esteem. Currently, 25 members are attending our twice - weekly craft and sewing groups, producing some beautiful and useful items. Our art group, in conjunction with the Old Coulsdon Art Society, have created some magnificent paintings, which have been on show at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon.



The Centre members are encouraged to take an active part in the running of the centre and have their own committee, of which one member is part of the management team.

Bramley Hill provides basic education lessons, usually on a one - to - one basis. These lessons allow for each student to state their needs, arrange a programme of work for their individual requirements and achieve a reasonable target for their efforts. "Paired work" also gives students a chance to learn compatibility and tolerance as well as hear other points of view, which can only give a greater understanding and level of interest.
