About Us

What We Do

NICE is a small charity based in Birmingham with the biggest of hearts, working miracles for local families affected by physical disability. We specialise in helping individuals with incurable movement disorders such as children born with cerebral palsy and adults recovering from a stroke, to push the boundaries of their own potential.

Movement is an integral part of who we are. A lack, loss or difficulty with movement has a major impact and affects every aspect of daily life especially for the children we support who have been born with a lifelong condition. Basic skills such as sitting up, crawling, and talking become unimaginable milestones for families at the worst time in their lives.

This is where NICE becomes a family’s salvation, with power in the knowledge that every child can be better, and improvement now is a gain forever.

NICE’s centre of excellence has been delivering its pioneering services for over 40 years and has transformed the lives of over 10,000 families affected by movement disabilities, throughout this time. With no statutory support available for these long-term and complex conditions, NICE fills a crucial gap in community services for children from birth, young and older children, to adults of all ages.
