Get involved

There are a number of ways you can support us:

FUNDRAISING

Fundraising is a brilliant way to bring people together for a good cause and have fun into the bargain!

EVENTS are a great way of raising funds and also awareness of a charity. These can be sponsored events such as fun runs, cycle rides, sponsored swims. Coffee mornings and afternoon teas are also very popular.

The list is endless, only limited by your imagination!

MAKE A DONATION

There are several ways to make a donation:

  • By giving direct – Use our Donate button on the HOME page.
  • by giving through your pay packet
  • Leave a legacy in your will
  • Put money in a collecting box

Signing up for GIFT AID increases the value of your donation by allowing charities to reclaim tax on the gift.

VOLUNTEER

Volunteers are vital to the success of our organisation and we are always looking for volunteers to help support our work.

Our volunteers will receive an in-depth induction, training appropriate to their role and ongoing support and development to ensure their volunteering is a positive experience.


I was very impressed with the results you have had with the young people you have worked with.
"We need to harness the power of brain plasticity for treating children and young people with brain injury, especially at the key ages of 0-3 and at ages 10-16"
Professor Bryan Kolb; Canada
"Taking brain injured children home causes high stress for families. Disjointed services exacerbate family stress levels."
Deborah Andrews; New Zealand
"Strength-based family intervention after pediatric ABI is essential. Parents need to be equipped with the skills to cope and advocate for the child."
Caron Gan; Canada
"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
"We are medical practitioners. The real experts are the parents. Over the last 35 years they have taught me everything I know"
Lucia Braga; Brazil
"When different organisations assess different aspects of a child's neuro-rehabilitation needs, everyone looks at things from a different perspective and have conflicting priorities"
Cathy Jonson; Rehab without Walls; United Kingdom.
"There are problems with getting people into neuro-rehab. Those most in need are often those most excluded due to a lack of socio-economic resources."
Vicki Anderson; Australia
"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
