Matrix Official Launch Date

August 6th, 2015

The official launch date for our charity is now set to take place on Tuesday 6 October. The event is to be held at The Middlesbrough Hotel (formerly The Thistle Hotel) from 6 pm.

The launch will give the trustees the opportunity to thank our supporters and local dignitaries and let them know what our plans and aspirations are for the future, and why their support is so essential to providing much needed services to children, young people and their families who are living with the effects of an acquired brain injury.

Invitations will be going out shortly and we look forward to welcoming many of our supporters.
