The Percy Hedley Foundation is a charity providing services for children and adults with cerebral palsy and/or severe communication difficulties.  Adult Services has a number of departments which provide day services, employment experience, education and residential living options for over 120 people. A recent development has been the opening of Northern Counties College, providing further education opportunities for young people aged between 19 -25.
