Brain injury recovery charity

Request for funding

Helping survivors, families and carers take their next step.

We fund the services and equipment that help brain injury survivors keep their recovery moving after hospital – and the support that families and main carers need to keep caring.

Who can apply?

Someone living with a brain injury, or their family members or main carer. A brain injury affects the whole family, and carers need support too.

What can we fund?

Services (like a block of therapy sessions) and/or equipment that helps recovery or caring – up to around £300 per application.

Why around £300?

We’re a small charity, and we’d rather help lots of people with the everyday things that make a real difference than fund one expensive item that may soon be outgrown as recovery improves. After a brain injury, one or two incomes often stop – but the bills don’t.
