The All Wales Forum are pleased to welcome Anna and Kelly who have moved into the office adjacent to ours in Taff’s Well, Cardiff – they work for the charity Caudwell Children.
Caudwell Children was founded in 2000 to improve the lives of disabled children. They provide family support services, equipment, treatment and therapies for disabled children and their families across the UK. They also run their Enable Sport programme for talented disabled athletes and Destination Dreams holidays for children fighting life threatening conditions.

Family Support Services – Supporting every step of the journey

- Short break activities allowing children to make new friends and learn new skills while giving parents vital respite.
Equipment Services – Enabling extraordinary children to live ordinary lives
- Mobility equipment including bespoke multi-purpose wheelchairs and therapy cycles as well as specialised car seats and mobility buggies.
- Sensory equipment for Autistic children to help promote communication, cognition and well-being.
Other core services provided by Caudwell Children include;
