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.


"Healthy teens are better at identifying strategies to deal with barriers. KIDS WITH ABI'S CAN'T!"
Shari Wade; USA
"Often families don't have the financial capability to access services. We need to rethink how we deliver neuro-rehab services to children and young people"
Vicki Anderson; Australia
"Rehabilitation interventions can lead to positive outcomes for children and their families if delivered in the familiar home environment and applied to everyday situations"
Cerebra; United Kingdom
I was very impressed with the results you have had with the young people you have worked with.
"Brain development is complex and prolonged. Brain plasticity is influenced by a range of factors. Plasticity provides a base for neuro-rehab therapies and treatment"
Professor Bryan Kolb; Canada
"Our 10 year study proves that family-led home-based neuro-rehab interventions deliver the best outcomes for children and young people"
Lucia Braga; Brazil
"We would like to see earlier identification and support for children with brain injuries to help them succeed in school."
Dalton Leong; Chief Executive of the Children's Trust
"We are impressed with the progress you have made with the individual we referred to you."  Social Worker    
"Participation in teen sports and normal activities leads to improved quality of life for children and young people post brain injury and helps to maximise outcomes"
Claire Willis; Australia
"NHS clinicians struggle with what intervention to prioritise in paediatric neuro-rehabilitation due to limited clinical time and the complexity of needs. Children, clinicians, parents and schools all have different neuro-rehabilitation priorities"
Recolo; United Kingdom
