Who we are

HemiHelp has a small team of staff and a large network of volunteer parents and adult members. Together we work to provide information and support services, and to raise money for the future. HemiHelp's Board of Trustees is made up of parents who have children with hemiplegia, adults with hemiplegia and professionals who provide strategic input and governance for the organisation.
