This October, we’re celebrating 50 Years of Play in Healthcare Week. Play is more than a pastime; it’s a pathway to recovery. This week, we celebrate hospital play specialists and the role of play in helping children and young people thrive after an acquired brain injury.

😤 Those of us severely affected by mental illness are too often left behind.

Awareness is great, but we need to see action.

#WorldMentalHealthDay

This World Mental Health Day, we're thinking of...

The 1.8m people waiting for support.
The millions of unpaid mental health carers.
Anyone who has been bereaved by suicide.
The 52,458 Mental Health Act detentions last year.
Hardworking staff in overstretched MH services

👁️ Today is World Sight Day, a reminder that how we see the world can change in an instant. For some children with an acquired brain injury, vision changes are one of the hidden effects of their injury. We’re here to help every child rediscover their world: clearly, confidently, and with compassion.
