Every 30 minutes, a child in the UK suffers an accident, injury or illness which causes a brain injury. This adds up to around 40,000 children every year.
It can affect a child’s ability to move, communicate, hear, see, understand, and interact with the world around them. And as you’ll read in inspire, an injury to the brain can be life changing for both the child and the whole family.
We currently look after around one in four of all UK children with severe brain injuries at our national, specialist centre in Surrey. Everything we do is about giving these children and young people the chance to live the best life possible.
Whatever you do to support us, you help us change lives every day. We hope you enjoy reading inspire and finding out about the amazing difference you have helped us to make.
