Beneficiaries
1 in 6 people in the UK lives with a neurological condition such as stroke, MS or brain injury, or a very rare condition that only affects an unlucky few. Being diagnosed turns your world upside-down: people lose homes, jobs and friends. 66% of our community struggle with depression or anxiety. Only 1 in 5 is in full-time employment. With your help we can provide support as early as possible, helping them regain control of their health and their lives.
At The Brain Charity we provide: - Practical help, including info and advice, and help with employability and welfare benefits. Hands-on support that deals with the real-life challenges of living with a neurological condition. - Emotional support, providing counselling to hundreds of people each year. - Social Activities, including exercise in our Neuro Gym. This enables people to stay active and connected. This range of services gives people the tools and confidence to take control of their health.
