How
THE CHILD CARE ACTION TRUST's A small Charity called STEP TOGETHER was founded in 2003 by Sarah of Newton Ayclffe, County Durham who's son Joshua, who has cerebral palsy, attended sessions at a Centre for Conductive Education based in Sunderland. Sarah together with fellow trustees Amanda of Middlesbrough in Cleveland, Vivian of Rowland's Gill in Tyne & Wear and Lyn of Spennymoor in County Durham first raised money so that Step Together could provide a back-up for children who had cerebral palsy and who attended that Centre Sadly the Sunderland Centre was forced to close in February 2005 and the trustees of Step Together, with limited financial resources, sought ways to open a Centre that would provide Conductive Education for their children. At this period help was sought from various organisations, including The Child Care Action Trust. STEP TOGETHER first opened it's doors for Conductive Education in September 2005 for just two days each week, employing part-time staff, to provide four "group sessions" per week of CONDUCTIVE EDUCATION at a 'Day Centre' located in County Durham, enabling thirteen to receive Conductive Education, each at one of the four (weekly) sessions. On 1st November 2005, STEP TOGETHER became a division of THE CHILD CARE ACTION TRUST. This "combining of forces" enabled THE CHILD CARE ACTION TRUST, whilst retaining Step Together as a "working name", to employ full time staff and to provide up to three weekly group sessions of Conductive Education for each child, plus intensive block placements during school holidays. More than eighty-five children received Conductive Education at the Charity's Step Together centre during the first five years. Following a move in the early part of 2011, the Charity now provides Conductive Education at it's Step Together centre, at the Grange Road Baptist Church, Darlington, County Durham located very conveniently just minutes away from the town centre. The larger teaching area at the Darlington centre has enabled the Charity to provide Conductive Education for more children and to avoid a waiting list. The Child Care Action Trust's STEP TOGETHER centre, headed by Viktoria Kincses, is a "Centre of Excellence" to be envied in the world of Conductive Education.
