Merlin - Cornwall’s Neuro Therapy Centre
Dedicated To Improving Health and Well-Being
Merlin Neuro Therapy Centre is an independent Cornish charity supporting adults living with neurological conditions and children and young people who are neurodiverse with sensory processing challenges.
We believe nobody should face these challenges alone. Every day, we help people improve their wellbeing, maintain independence and live fuller, more connected lives.
Because cost should never be a barrier to accessing support.
A place of support, hope and possibility
Help us raise vital funds for our charity
Our aim is to help people live more independent lives by providing access to specialist therapies, support and a welcoming community. We are committed to keeping our services as accessible and affordable as possible, ensuring more people can benefit from the support they need.
As a charity, we rely on fundraising, donations and income generated through the Centre to sustain our work. Every visit to our café, retail area, external clinics or other facilities helps us reinvest in our charitable services, enabling us to support more people across Cornwall.
More than a therapy centre—it’s a community hub where every visit helps make a difference.

Merlin Centre News

Sue is a mum of two, grandmother to seven, and someone who refuses to let Parkinson's define who she is.
After noticing changes in her movement and strength, Sue was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2024. Everyday tasks became difficult, affecting not only her independence but also her confidence.
Determined to stay active, Sue joined Merlin Neuro Therapy Centre and began attending hydrotherapy sessions. One of Sue's biggest goals was to regain her ability to swim.
Parkinson's had affected her coordination in the water, leaving her unable to swim in a straight line and causing her to lose confidence in an activity she really enjoyed.
Our Clinical Lead, Mel, worked with Sue to help rebuilt her confidence, coordination and movement patterns.
Today, Sue is back in the pool, enjoying being part of weekly hydrotherapy classes, staying active, and benefiting from the friendships and support she has found at the Centre.
"Coming to the Centre has provided me with more than I was even expecting. Those initial one-to-one sessions with Mel in the pool allowed me to swim again and join in my weekly hydro classes with confidence."
If you would like to find out more about any of our services please get in touch 01726 885530 or email hello@merlincentre.org.uk

Today we'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supports the charity by playing our Merlin Lotto.
Every ticket helps us continue providing life-changing support to people living with neurological conditions and neuro diversities while giving supporters the chance to win cash prizes each month.
As former trustee, fundraiser and September's lotto winner, Sally-Jane says:
"Having been involved with the charity for many years, I am well aware of the extraordinary difference the charity is making to many lives, and the lottery is one of the many ways you can show support, with the bonus of the possibility of winning."
For just £2 a month, you can support our work and be in with a chance of winning too.
