We are the only charity in the County that specialises in raising awareness of, and providing support to, people impacted by acquired brain injury.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability in people aged under 40 in the UK. Every year over 3000 people are admitted to hospital with a brain injury in Somerset. Survivors are left with long-term and complex health conditions including physical, sensory, cognitive and social impairments, poor mental health, epilepsy and personality changes. 

Our team are here to make sure no one has to face this trauma alone.
