The Brain Injury Foundation
The Brain Injury Foundation
We are a completely voluntary organisation which addresses social isolation among brain injury survivors, their carers and families through a range of activities and projects. We serve the Southern Health and Social Care Trust area.
We are an independent registered charity and are based at Our House, Northern Ireland's first community owned centre of excellence for brain injury. We are funded by the Big Lottery's Space and Place Programme.
We are led by a management commitee which includes braiin injury survivors, carers and volunteers and raise almost all of our funds ourselves.
