FEPCCAT

Advocacy for people with cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities

The Catalan Federation for Cerebral Palsy and Multiple Disabilities (FEPCCAT) was founded in 2000 and brings together 14 organizations supporting people with cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities in Catalonia. It represents and defends the interests of a community whose members often have complex support needs.

Areas of work

• Programs: Initiatives that promote recreation, education, research, and innovation to improve quality of life.
• Policy and advocacy: Participation in legislative and public policy work affecting people with cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities.
• Support for member organizations: Technical and legal advice, help applying for and reporting on grants, and peer groups where service directors can share knowledge.
• Communications and awareness: Campaigns, workshops, and publications that increase visibility and defend people’s rights.
• Family support: Creating spaces for families to connect, find guidance, and participate.

Featured activities

One of its best-known events is the “En Marxa per la Paràlisi Cerebral” race, which drew 2,600 people in its 12th edition. FEPCCAT also hosts a gathering for the leaders and presidents of its member organizations and has launched projects such as “Tots som art” and “Respir Familiar.”
