A determined young boy who founded a specialised physiotherapy centre in Bromley that supports children to walk again has been honoured by Prime Minister David Cameron and featured in an inspirational film.

Freddie Farmer (11), from West Wickham, who was born with cerebral palsy but refused to let it stop him achieving his dreams, was awarded a prestigious Point of Light. Now he’s been featured with six other award winners in a film released today on the Point of Light website.

After experiencing difficulties travelling to and from a treatment centre in Oxford he and his grandad Danny Catchesides founded Freddie Farmer Foundation in 2011 to raise the funds needed to create a centre nearer home.

Starting with a small group of family and friends in the Eltham area, the charity managed to raise over £400,000 in just over three years, enough to open the Bromley centre in April 2015 which now boasts state of the art equipment to help mobility for children with cerebral palsy and serious mobility problems.

Its aim is to provide unique and intensive physiotherapy to disabled children, helping them to reach their full potential.

Freddie received his award in June, which recognises outstanding individual volunteers, people who are making a change in their community and inspiring others.

Mr Cameron said: "Points of Light are extraordinary volunteers whose service is making a difference in our community. We’ve recognised hundreds across the UK, and there are thousands more to find; to thank; to help spread their ideas and make an even greater impact on our society.

“Points of Light really proves something I’ve always thought to be true – it’s not just governments that can change the world; it’s people. It’s Points of Light whose service shows the very best of humanity, and whose inspiration can help us tackle some of the greatest social challenges of our time.”

The Freddie Farmer Foundation physiotherapy centre opened in April, it’s the only independent centre of its kind in South East England that provides intensive physiotherapy programmes for disabled children across the region.
