Child Brain Injury Trust (Northern Ireland)

The Child Brain Injury Trust was established by a group of health professionals in 1991 to research and provide information regarding the effects of 'traumatic' injury on a child's developing brain. Parents of children with acquired brain injury were keen to become actively involved with the charity and over time the emphasis on the work changed. Today the Child Brain Injury Trust is the leading voluntary sector organisation (registered charity and company limited by guarantee) providing non-medical services to families affected by childhood acquired brain injury across the UK. We operate in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland and have a dedicated team of professional staff and volunteers who give their expertise, commitment and enthusiasm every day. Families continue to be involved in the development of the charity and we continue to be amazed and enlightened by their energy and uniqueness. The charity currently has 5 offices across the UK. Our registered office is located in Oxfordshire with sub offices in Belfast, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Our Values: We place children, young people and families at the heart of our work We respect individuals and their differences We are professional yet caring recognising that children and young people with ABI are different to adults with the same injury We work as a team to find practical appropriate solutions We deliver best value for money services with customer care and high standards of serviceWhat sort of issues can we help with?
