Paces meets the physical and cognitive needs of individuals which are often not met holistically elsewhere.

Paces Sheffield was established in 1995; the organisation was born out of the experiences of parenting pupils

Paces  also  has  adult  day  service  and  in  addition  to  this  also  operates  a  Sessional  Conductive  Education
Programme for individuals with Parkinson’s and for individuals who have survived a stroke.
