Our first volunteer!

July 9th, 2015

Giles-bio-photo We have recently welcomed our first volunteer to MATRIX Neurological, Giles Hudson.

Giles himself lives with the effects of an acquired brain injury which he suffered as a 19 year old. Giles already volunteers as a trustee for another organisation and brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the area of acquired brain injury. He has frequently spoken at conferences about what it means to live with the effects of an ABI and is keen to contribute to the work of MATRIX Neurological.

We look forward to working with Giles who has now become a valued member of our team.
