More than a roof: Raising £150,000 to secure the future of The Brain Charity’s HQ

Our vital services for people with neurological conditions are disrupted every time it rains

The Brain Charity’s centre in Liverpool has been at the heart of everything we do for the last 30 years.

From this hub, our staff support thousands of people affected by neurological conditions from across the UK each year.

Our centre is also a safe, judgement-free space where clients local to Liverpool can receive information and advice, attend a range of social activities, volunteer or simply spend time in our café.

Unfortunately, in recent years all this is put into jeopardy every time it rains.

Our roof is no longer fit for purpose

We are facing serious issues with the roof of The Brain Charity’s centre, which is now more than 30 years old.

Frequent severe leaks have caused significant damage to the building, resulting in ceiling collapses and damage to walls and flooring.

This has meant that at times we have had to close parts of our centre and staff have been unable to work in certain offices, disrupting our vital services.

Raising £150,000 to secure our future

We are therefore now launching an urgent appeal to raise £150,000 to replace our centre’s roof and add solar panels to make our building more eco-friendly and energy efficient.

With the weather set to get worse as we move into autumn and winter, this has never been more urgent.

We are calling on:

  • You, the members of the public who give so generously to The Brain Charity
  • Large scale capital funders,
  • Businesses who may be able to provide help in kind,
  • Corporate supporters, and
  • Anyone who is keen to secure the future of The Brain Charity

To help us by making donations, offering practical support or simply by sharing this appeal.

Every donation, no matter the size, gets us a little closer to a new roof for The Brain Charity.

This is about so much more than tiles, flashing and gutters – this is about creating a safe and welcoming space for our clients.

It’s about securing the future of The Brain Charity and our services for many more years to come.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
