Unlocking children’s potential: Brainwave is supported by the I Love MCR Charity Foundation and championed at the I Love MCR Power Awards
Brainwave is a charity that exists to help children with disabilities achieve greater independence by aiming to improve their mobility, communication skills and learning potential through a range of specialist therapies. The children we work with have a range of conditions including autism, cerebral palsy and genetic disorders such as Down syndrome.
Our specialist staff, including Physiotherapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Sensory Integration trained Therapists and Learning & Development Specialists, work with the family to devise a unique Therapy Programme, specifically designed to suit their child’s needs, which will help encourage them to unlock their child’s potential.
This year we are celebrating our 40th Anniversary of delivering life changing therapies for disabled children. We’re inviting everyone that has been touched by Brainwave throughout our 40 years to take part in our celebrations. There are many ways you can get involved – share your memories of Brainwave, donate, fundraise for us, or simply help raise awareness of our work. With the help of our kind supporters, we are hoping to raise an additional £40,000 in 2022 to fund a new full-time therapist which will enable us to support more children with disabilities.
To be completed: 12/09 – 25/09
Our therapy programmes often include hydrotherapy which has many benefits – the warmth and buoyancy of the water can help children to relax their muscles and provides an opportunity for greater freedom of movement. As part of our service, we design and teach bespoke hydrotherapy programmes to families so that children can complete them regularly at their local hydrotherapy pools.
