From 1 April 2026, White Lodge Centre will no longer provide the NHS Children’s Therapy service.
Families who use this service have been contacted directly with information and support.
All other White Lodge services will continue as usual.
We are sharing an update about changes to specialist Children’s Therapy services in Surrey.
White Lodge has a long history of supporting children and families through therapy services, and we are incredibly proud of the care our therapists provide. These changes are part of a wider NHS decision about how children’s therapy services are delivered across Surrey.
At the moment, White Lodge provides NHS-funded specialist therapy for young children aged 0–5 with cerebral palsy or complex neurodevelopmental conditions.
From 1 April 2026, this specialist therapy service will move to a new, county-wide NHS provider. The service will be delivered by Surrey Child and Family Health, which is run by HCRG Care Group.
This decision has been made by NHS commissioners and is not a decision taken by White Lodge.
Clinical teams will carefully plan the transition to make sure it is safe, well-managed, and causes as little disruption as possible. This process is overseen by NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board.
Families will receive ongoing updates and will have opportunities to ask questions and understand what the changes mean for their child.
You do not need to take any action at this time.
Our therapists care deeply about the children and families they support. They will continue to provide high-quality care and work closely with NHS partners throughout this period of change.
We understand that change can feel worrying, and we are committed to supporting families with clear information and reassurance.
This change only affects the NHS Children’s Therapy service.
White Lodge will continue to deliver its many other services for children, young people, and adults with disabilities and their families across Surrey.
