This year some brave souls are abseiling off Liverpool’s iconic Anglican Cathedral - all in aid of The Brain Charity! We asked them why they would do something so crazy and this is what they had to say:
The Brain Charity’s library has a number of books on the subject of ‘plasticity’ or ‘neuro-plasticity’ - the brain’s ability to heal and re-model itself. Plasticity means the ability to change.
The Brain Charity are delighted to have been awarded the Navajo Merseyside Charter Mark, an equality Kite Mark that's sponsored by In-Trust Merseyside and Sefton Embrace.
We recently visited Daisy Inclusive UK, a charity based in the Everton area of Liverpool that brings together both disabled and non-disabled people and their families. It provides a cross-generational community setting enabling people to take part in sport, education, creative activities and social events.
Sarah had a mechanical stroke following a head-on road traffic accident in 2016 and was left with life-altering injuries that affect her mobility, vision, speech and memory. Sarah can no longer drive and requires full time care which is provided by her long-term partner and two paid carers who work on rotation.
