One Donation, Twice the Impact
We rely on the generosity of our amazing supporters to ensure we can continue supporting over 200 families impacted by brain injury every year. The money raised will go towards:
- Activities, courses, and support groups
- Overheads (rent, admin, equipment)
- Staff salaries
- Volunteer costs
- Marketing and promotion
With matched funding through the Big Give Christmas Challenge, every donation will go twice as far and you can make a real difference:
- £480 could fund 12 weeks of neuro-physiotherapy for someone rebuilding strength and mobility
- £360 could fund 12 weeks of speech and language therapy for someone regaining communication skills
- £320 could fund a complete Living With Brain Injury course for someone on their recovery journey
- £40 could fund one session of the Living With Brain Injury course
- £35 could fund a free assessment for someone taking their first step towards support
Stats from November 2025.
Leigh’s and Lucy’s Story
A big part of the donations will go to support people like Leigh, who suffered a brain injury after a bike accident, and Lucy’s life changed in a horse accident.
Thanks to generous pledgers and donors, they have been able to access vital services that have made a huge difference in their recovery journey.
You can read more about Leigh’s story here. and Lucy’s story here.
