Award Winning Team

Bradley Winstanley is the father of the 2021 Child of courage joint winners, twins Freddie and Austin. Austin who has cerebral palsy had made amazing progress with the aid of his brother, his own great determination and therapy treatment.
However, continued therapy treatment is hard to find in Essex, particularly now therapy Centre ‘Brainwave’ in Witham had closed. Bradley knew of other parents with similar difficulties so having discussed the matter with his wife Charlotte he decided to invest his life savings in creating the Ability Therapies center at a converted barn within a farm in Bicknacre.
Their stated goal is to help children to maximise every ability and reach their full potential. It has had great results with the treatment given there by their enthusiastic and gifted therapists, three of whom Kirsty, Melanie, and Emma are here this evening.
One mother wrote to us saying, “My daughter is our miracle and Ability Therapies are our heroes.”
