The Children’s Trust is the UK's leading charity for children with brain injury and neurodisability. We deliver rehabilitation, education and community services through skilled teams who work with children and young people, and their families. Set in the historic Tadworth Court Mansion in Surrey, just inside the M25, we have come a long way since forming in 1984.
Every year 40,000 children in the UK are left with a brain injury as a result of an accident or illness and it can be devastating – they may no longer be able to walk, talk, stand, sit, or feed themselves – sometimes all of these abilities. At The Children’s Trust, we aim to help rebuild as many of their skills as possible, as well as their self-esteem. A child’s confidence is central to that relearning. We help children do this through play, exploration, laughter and having fun; things that are often absent when a child has limited mobility or has had a challenging time. By combining music, singing, arts and crafts, day trips and other activities, with therapy, healthcare and education, children do not focus on what they cannot do, they just do it and have fun. We are proud of the positive working environment at The Children's Trust and the fun we have with the children and young people we support.
We're privileged to have high-profile support for the work we do. Our Ambassadors help to raise awareness of The Children's Trust, allowing us to reach more children with brain injury and neurodisability. Without their support for our fundraising, events, and campaigning, we would not be where we are today. Their dedication to helping our cause makes a huge difference to the charity and their visits boost morale and motivation in the children and staff, so we are grateful for all they do. Are ambassadors are: Adam Hills, Ashley Head, Amanda Burton, David Walliams OBE, Elaine Pagie OBE, Harry Judd, Izzy Judd, Holly Vallance, Jacqueline Gold CBE, Jenni Falconer, Joley Richardson, Nicholas Owen, Phil Tufnell, Richard Hammond and Sophia Warner BEM.
