We help children living with a brain condition and their families to discover a better life together. We work with families, fund life-changing research, design bespoke toys and products to help children learn and play, and provide health and social care advice and support for the whole family.

    In the UK today, there are around half a million children and young people with brain conditions that result in complex medical, educational and social support needs. By ‘brain condition’, we mean any neurodevelopmental condition that affects the developing brain, including those caused by illness, genetics or traumatic injury. Brain conditions include (but are not limited to) autism, ADHD, Down’s syndrome, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and developmental delay.

    Families where a child has a brain condition face challenges every day. To learn, play, make friends, enjoy and experience the world can feel difficult, even impossible. But we don’t believe there’s any challenge that can’t be overcome. So we listen to families, we learn from them, we work with them. We carry out research, we design and innovate, and we make and share. From new equipment to new learning resources, to legal advice and sleep support, everything we do together makes life better.
