Our people
At The Brain Charity we’re here for anyone affected by a neurological condition, providing emotional support, practical advice and opportunities to connect through social activities. We’re also proud to champion neurodiversity and work towards building a more inclusive and understanding society.
Behind everything we do is our small but passionate team of 45 staff and 58 active volunteers, all committed to making a real difference in people’s lives.
We are proud to be able to say more than half of our staff and at least 60 per cent of our volunteers have lived experience of neurological conditions.
This personal insight shapes everything we do, helping us provide more understanding, compassionate and meaningful support to those we serve.
