Over 500,000 children in the UK live with a brain condition
This can make everyday activities such as learning, playing or simply experiencing the world a huge challenge. Through our research we offer solutions and advice to help these children and their families enjoy lives full of hope and discovery.
Research is the foundation for all our work
Whether we're providing an innovative solution to a problem or new research on an existing condition, we partner with our experts to produce research-driven, evidence-based services, advice and support.
Can you help?
We rely on donations to continue our vital work helping children with brain conditions and their families discover a better life together.
