Acquired brain injury has the most devastating effect, not only on the injured individual, but also on their families and relatives. There are a lot of misconceptions regarding this type of injury and this often leaves the families confused and vulnerable. We believe that, through our own personal experience, we can offer much needed support and advice to these families, as well as give positive help to the injured individual.

 The Wayne Howard Trust has been set up to further the work originally achieved by The Wayne Howard Appeal Fund. To find out more about how we started and what we achieved for Wayne, please visit www.waynehoward.org.uk

 The initial objective of the Trust is to give advice and support to acquired brain injured patients and their relatives, with the ultimate objective of setting up a specialist rehabilitation centre in this country. 

 Our Objective "The relief of persons who have suffered a brain injury, their families and carers, particularly but not exclusively by the provision of advice and information, financial assistance for the purchase or hire of specialist equipment or treatment and the establishment of neurological treatment and rehabilitation clinic."

 


Many ask us why we use the
Bee in our logo?

We did some research and came up with this suitable anecdote.
"According to the laws of aerodynamics used by airplane engineers, bees and other insects should not be capable of flight. Yet many insect species have been flying for over 300 million years."

So how do they do it?

Simple, they do it because no-one has told them they can't!

The same philosophy can be applied to those people who have suffered brain injuries - we do not assume they can't!
