Happy 2026! Here’s how we wrapped up 2025 – first shared in our January e-newsletter.
Victorian Evening and Kirkley Christmas Tree Festival
A lovely weekend of festivities! Huge thanks to everyone for the warm welcome at Loddon & Chedgrave’s Victorian Evening, to our magical tree-decorating fairies at the Kirkley Christmas Tree Festival, and to those talented carol singers.
Halesworth Christmas Market
A fabulous welcome at Halesworth on a bright, chilly, festive day. Thank you to Halesworth Town Council for a wonderful event.
The big brain injury news of 2025
Brain injuries have long been labelled simply “mild”, “moderate” or “severe” – but people with “mild” injuries often live with serious long-term problems. In 2025, researchers published a new approach (known as CBI-M) that looks at the whole picture: clinical tests, blood tests, brain scans and personal factors. It still needs more testing before hospitals use it widely, but it could mean better-matched care for the millions of people affected by brain injury every year.
Looking ahead
We’ve got exciting plans for 2026. Follow us on social media and check our website for the latest news, and if you’re looking for an inspirational speaker, Zara and Ian give talks in person and online – just get in touch.
