About the Osteopathic Centre for Children
The Osteopathic Centre for Children (OCC) is the UK's leading children's osteopathic charity.
For over 30 years we have provided specialist osteopathic care for babies, children, young people and pregnant women, regardless of their family's ability to pay.
Alongside our clinical services, we deliver postgraduate education, professional development and research, helping improve children's health while training the next generation of paediatric osteopaths.

Your work will help more children access specialist healthcare, inspire supporters to donate and promote our education programmes.
