Your donation could make a life-changing difference to brain injury survivors this Christmas.
Donate NowRebuilding Lives After Brain Injury
In Ireland, 19,000 people acquire a brain injury every year – that’s 52 people every single day. Overnight, their lives and the lives of their family are turned upside down. Through a range of neuro-rehabilitation supports and services, we help brain injury survivors to rebuild their lives. Our services reach people in many counties in Ireland but there are still significant gaps. Too many survivors are still falling between the cracks. A donation this Christmas will enable us to support more brain injury survivors and work towards our ultimate goal for equitable access to neuro-rehabilitation for everyone who needs it.
