AS the new year gets under way, Scope enters an exciting era in its development as it approaches its 50th anniversary.
Over the last 50 years, Scope has achieved much to improve the lives of people with cerebral palsy, but recognises that there is still a long way to go in achieving equality -- a society in which disabled people are as valued, and have the same rights, as everyone else.
Over the next five years we aim to reach 100 per cent of all children with cerebral palsy, help hundreds of disabled people find work, ensure that the parents of disabled children have access to support and information when they need it most, and enable more disabled people to live independently.
To join us in that aim, readers' donations, no matter how small, will help to make a difference to a disabled child or adult's life.
Anyone wishing to give a donation can call 020 7619 7298, and anyone wanting to learn more of our work can visit www.scope.org.uk on the internet.
GERALD McCARTHY, Chairman, Scope, Market Road, London N7.
