Up and down the country, our head and brain injury specialist team members work hard to give support to the community, volunteering to help with charities and support groups and getting involved in fund raising activities.
As well as working with brain injury support groups, we are actively involved with fundraising and promotion for a wide range of different worthy causes.
Our teams also work to support several leading national charities and groups including:
- BRAKE, the road safety organisation
- The Child Brain Injury Trust (CBIT)
- Headway - the Brain Injury Association
- Roadpeace
- The UK Acquired Brain Injury Forum (and a number of their regional associations)
Many of these organisations campaign for improvements in road safety, medical / social care and employment opportunities for people with acquired head and brain injuries.
We also help to fund and support educational brain injury events and seminars across the country, open to workers, volunteers and professionals interested in brain injury (for more details of events, please visit our events page).
