A recent headline described our community as the “most generous” part of the UK, even though charity donations have fallen sharply.

For small local charities like The Brain Injury Foundation, that generosity means everything. Every donation, every raffle ticket, every bucket collection, every shared post, and every hour volunteered helps us continue supporting brain injury survivors, carers and families across our community.

At a time when many people are under pressure themselves, the kindness we see from local people is never taken for granted.

Your support helps keep vital services, social activities, outreach, and safe spaces available for people living with the effects of brain injury.

From everyone at BIF, thank you for continuing to support us. 💙
