What your money could do

£175 could fund 100 information booklets, giving families the information they need to navigate life after brain injury.
£552 could fund an annual programme of free training webinars, giving survivors, families and professionals access to the latest brain injury information.
Every 90 seconds, someone is admitted to a UK hospital with a brain injury.
There are estimated to be 2.6 million people in the UK living with the effects of a traumatic brain injury or stroke related disabilities.
Together, we can ensure no one faces this alone.
