The Brain Charity provides free practical help, emotional support, and social activities.

We support anyone with a neurological condition based in the UK, as well as their family, friends, and carers.

Unfortunately we are unable to provide medical advice, help people from outside the UK or support people with mental health conditions unless they also have a neurological condition.
