Exactly one week ago, we came together for our annual Be You Ball, celebrating families affected by childhood-acquired brain injury. It was a night of joy, resilience, and recognition, honouring their incredible strength. 💜 And thanks to everyone's incredible support, we raised over £82,000!

We’re so grateful to Briony, who is taking on the ABP Newport Marathon to raise vital funds for us. Her motivation? Supporting a child from her sons’ school who tragically suffered a devastating brain injury last year. Please join us in cheering Briony on:

Half-term is the perfect time to make memories together! Why not try creating a multi-sensory experience by using textures, sounds, and scents while reading a favourite book, or put on a playlist and enjoy gentle dancing, hand clapping, or even using simple instruments like shakers.

Brain Injuries impact a child's behaviour, and this is often misinterpreted in educational settings.

Our brains shape much of who we are and what we think, feel, and do—but it’s incredibly vulnerable. The full effects of sustained brain injuries may not appear until years later, making life challenging. 💛 With your support, we help children adapt: https://childbraininjurytrust.org.uk/donate
