We are a local independent charity with over 40 years of experience working to improve life after brain injury. We support adults and their families to work towards achieving long term improvements to the quality of their lives. We define brain injury as non-degenerative injury to the brain that has occurred since birth. Acquired Brain Injury includes traumatic brain injury caused by an accident or impact or a non-traumatic brain injury such as stroke, meningitis, hypoxia or haemorrhage.
We promote an understanding of all aspects of brain injury, focusing not just on the impact on the individual but also on their families and others who care for them. We provide information, support and services for these people too, including assistance to source and access other much needed services. Our services encompass all stages of a brain injury journey; from immediate support via hospital visits, all the way to supporting individuals reconvening their lives in the community.
