Every half an hour in the UK, a child will acquire a brain injury. It could be caused by an accident, illness like meningitis, poisoning, stroke or a tumour. An acquired brain injury has a devastating impact on the child and their entire family as they struggle to come to terms with what has happened and the difficulties the future could bring. Bones can mend and scars can heal but a brain injury stays with you for life – it impacts on everything you think, you feel and you do.

The Child Brain Injury Trust offers information and support to children and families when they need it most. Every year, thousands of parents contact us. They call the charity’s Helpline for emotional and practical help from the Family Support team. They access a wealth of information to help children and families get the most out of life after a brain injury. Children make new friends through the Support Groups and activities that CBIT organises, helping them to have the fun that all children deserve.

Contact us today to join our team in this fantastic event and help us to raise money to help thousands of children and families across the UK.
