Last month, Orlagh ran the Dublin Marathon, raising an incredible £1,300 for CBIT! Her motivation came from the support received after her son Alfie was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Thank you, Orlagh, for giving back in such a meaningful way. Your kindness and determination are truly inspiring.

When Casey’s daughter, Farrah, sustained a brain injury, their family saw firsthand how vital the right support + awareness can be. To give back, their friends + family came together: from a heartfelt walk to an incredible DJ event that raised over £900!
The power of community!

On Remembrance Sunday, we honour the courage + sacrifice of those who have served in the armed forces. For families living with childhood ABI, this day is also a reminder of the importance of support, resilience, and community. Let’s take a moment to show gratitude for those who have given so much.

Current data doesn’t fully capture how many children live with an ABI. New research by ADR UK + UKABIF is helping to change that, using linked health + education records to shine a light on the true scale of childhood-ABI, and the support these children need in schools and communities.

Bonfire Night is full of fun, lights + fireworks, but for children with childhood ABI, the noise and crowds can sometimes be overwhelming.

Small adjustments, like wearing ear defenders, choosing quieter spots, or preparing children in advance, can help make the evening enjoyable for everyone.
