Gail Griffiths, Head of Fundraising & Retail for the charity said “We are always delighted to welcome The Duchess of Gloucester to Bobath Wales, she shows great interest in the charity and is most knowledgeable about cerebral palsy and the specialist therapy we provide to children in Wales who have cerebral palsy. We are extremely grateful and fortunate for her continued involvement and support.”
