The Hornsey Trust has changed....

On 1 January, 2009, The Hornsey Trust legally became known as The Peter Rigby Trust. On 3 February 2009, we publicly became known as The London Centre for Children with Cerebral Palsy. These changes were made to better reflect the work we do, who we do it for and where we do it. We continue to run our school and pre-school services, and conductive education remains at the heart of what we do. Our school is now known as The London School for Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Over the next three years, we plan to grow and develop our services further so that we are able to support even more children with cerebral palsy and their families across the London region. Our name change will enable us to do that more effectively, as well as enabling us to develop a distinctive identity and reach a wider audience.
