Child Brain Injury Trust

We are proud and excited to share our bold and ambitious roadmap for the next five years, Elevating Families, Enriching Futures. This strategic plan isn’t just a guide; it’s a powerful commitment to growth, resilience, and impact for the thousands of children affected by acquired brain injuries (ABI) across the UK. Take a read of our latest blog about the strategy from Lisa Turan, CEO: https://lnkd.in/d7mTqdDv

Meet Phoebe 👋 After suffering a stroke after birth, Phoebe's family received critical support from our coordinators at Child Brain Injury Trust. 💜 Phoebe's mum, Laura, mentions 💬 "It was so exciting to meet someone who understood Phoebe, without that ... (it) would have been much harder for Phoebe. We didn't know what the future would hold but as soon as we got in touch with CBIT and started to learn about brain injury, it really changed our family life."

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of standing in front of a group of wonderful people to tell them why supporting the Child Brain Injury Trust is life changing for the families they help. It was terrifying and wonderful in equal measures. I am deeply honoured that I get to do things like this. This time last year I delivered my first speech to a much smaller group, piece of paper in hand, voice shaking. I've come a long way in a year but the nerves still remain. They remain because I care so deeply, because my passion for CBIT burns fiercely within me. This week I have given two speeches in two cities, I am so grateful to be given that opportunity. Thank you to JMW Solicitors LLP for arranging yesterday's amazing event and more importantly to all the people who gave up their Friday afternoon to support the charities. You all helped to bring hope to those that feel lost in the midst of childhood acquired brain injury, so once again thank you.
