Every year, 6 October is an opportunity to come together and celebrate the resilience, diversity and vibrancy of people with CP. This year, World CP Day is on a Sunday.
It’s also a moment to campaign for meaningful, positive changes to accessibility and inclusion in society and recognise the contributions of family, carers and allies.
In 2024, the global campaign theme for World CP Day is #UniquelyCP.
Every member of the CP community is unique, with passions, pursuits and identities beyond just that of a person with disability. CP is often misunderstood in the wider community, and #UniquelyCP’s call to action is to overcome these stereotypes by celebrating the individuality and personality of our community.
The 2024 campaign theme aims to empower people with CP, family members and supporters to share stories about their achievements and passions – how CP makes each of us unique.
To celebrate, we are excited to launch a new video featuring members of the CP community sharing why World CP Day matters, and what #UniquelyCP means to them.

More about World CP Day
World Cerebral Palsy Day brings together people with cerebral palsy (CP), their families, supporters and organisations to celebrate our global community and raise awareness of CP.
World CP Day is celebrated annually on October 6 every year. As a global day of action, World CP Day serves as a platform to spotlight issues facing people with CP and campaign for a future in which people with CP have the same rights, access and opportunities in society as anyone else.
Founded in 2012 by Cerebral Palsy Alliance, World CP Day has since grown into a global network, with 144 partner organisations in 45 countries. Last year, official World CP Day channels reached an audience of 9 million people, with 800,000 engagements across social media and thousands of events across more than 100 countries.
