About the brain charity...
40% of our staff members have a neurological condition or are neurodivergent.
It is really important to us that the lived experience of our client group is reflected in our employee team.
What we do
There are more than 600 different conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord or nervous system. These are called neurological conditions.
A neurological condition is any condition that affects the brain, spinal cord or nervous system.
Many are well-known.There are also hundreds of conditions that only affect an unlucky few.
Our history
The Brain Charity opened in Liverpool in 1993 out of the recognition there was no support for patients with neurological conditions in the community once they left
The Walton Centre, a specialist neurological hospital serving the North West of England.
We have since grown to a team of more than 30 members of staff and more than 80 volunteers. We are proud to be able to say more than half of our staff team and at least 60 per cent of our volunteers have lived experience of neurological conditions.
The need for our services has dramatically increased since the COVID-19 pandemic began. This is due to the mental health impact of the lockdowns, increased unemployment and more people being diagnosed with neurological conditions
