Families share what it means to have the support of The Children’s Trust, after their child has acquired a brain injury. Read Orion’s story and how he was supported by our Community Rehabilitation Team, or learn more about Siddique’s story, through the eyes of his mum Shaheena.

Brain injuries can have invisible, life-changing effects. Learn how behaviour can be affected and how parents can manage challenging behaviour.

Find out how your support helps children like Isaac, who came to The Children’s Trust with his family for an 8-week placement after experiencing a stroke. Isaac and his family were able to regain confidence through the therapy and rehabilitation provided at our national specialist centre.

Our brains are so complex and mysterious. This small organ makes up just 2 per cent of our body weight but looks after a massive 98 per cent of our functions! We share some fascinating facts about this amazing organ and discuss how after a brain injury, children may face difficulties which have a lasting impact on the rest of their lives.

Our supporters' generosity extends to leaving gifts in their Wills, known as the ‘Gift of possible’. In inspire, we shared how Roy and Jim's gifts fund our rehabilitation, education, therapy, and care services. Leave a gift in your Will to help children with brain injury live their best life possible.

Samuel, now 14, is taking part in The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and as part of this, he is volunteering in one of our shops. Read Samuel’s story in our latest edition of inspire, and find out more about volunteering in one of our shops too.
