What we do

• The Child Brain Injury Trust's service is face-to-face, as well as over the phone and email. We have an advice, information and referral service for families and young people.
• The Child Brain Injury Trust's service is specifically for children and young people under the age of 18 years old, who have acquired a brain injury. This may be through stroke, tumour, illness, accident, fall, non-accidental injury, poisoning or more.
• We provide individualised support to enable children and their families to move forward following acquired brain injury
• We aim to improve the quality of life of those affected by raising awareness of the impact of a brain injury on the whole family and empowering those who can help by providing education and information.
• We aim to influence policy in health, social care, education and youth justice to improve access to support and the quality of support provided.
