The Brain Charity Cafe

Such a fantastic place & special recognition must go to Katie Price who has supported me over the last few months with my PIP assessment which ended up at a tribunal. Fortunately, it was a positive outcome & i have been awarded the benefit & i cannot thank Katie enough for her hardwork, kindness & huge support. Thankyou, thankyou once again! 😘

I can highly recommend the Line Managers Neurodiversity Training offered by the Brain Charity. Our facilitator was outstanding, the content was very informative and delivered in a very engaging and compassionate manner, the team came away having learned so much and are far better equipped to support their direct reports as and when they may need to.

Absolutely amazing charity that really goes out of its way to help neurodiverse people, like me with my ADHD and Autism. They really understand these conditions (& many many more) and are so supportive & helpful, I really do appreciate the help I've received from them this year and just wish I'd found them sooner!

I had been trying to get disability benefits for 35 years. I have a rare hereditary neurological condition. Last year when I finally had my diagnosis in April I applied for PIP . They gave me zero on everything. But thanks to the Roxy she organised a solicitor to fight the decision. Suzanne has been amazing and worked very hard on my behalf. Yesterday Emma was with me as support from the Brain Charity . The tribunal where very kind as I was very anxious. But having Emma by my side helped me. I am very happy to say that the tribunal awarded me enhanced for both parts of PIP. I couldn't have finally got disability benefits without the Brain Charity. They are amazing and go above and beyond to help those of us who need there help. I am now 65 and last year finally having my diagnosis has changed my life . I can't thank my neurologist at the Walton Centre enough. I am no longer weird but have HPX and in contact with others who has this rare hereditary neurological condition all over the world. Never be frightened to ask the Brain Charity for help and support as they will not turn you away and do everything in there power to help .

I am thrilled to be able share my extraordinary experience with The Brain Charity, a remarkable organization that has provided me with unparalleled support and assistance. As someone living with multiple sclerosis, my journey took an incredible turn when I had the privilege of working with a true gem, Mr. Mike Evans. From the very first encounter, Mike exemplified kindness, consideration, and genuine care. His polite demeanor and understanding nature immediately put me at ease. However it was his unwavering patience that truly made a lasting impression. Mike took the time to listen to my story, to truly comprehend the challenges I faced, and to guide me through a complex appeal process with the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) department. Thanks to The Brain Charity's unwavering commitment and Mike's exceptional guidance, my appeal was a resounding success. I am beyond grateful to say that it resulted in a positive outcome, securing maximum payments for an astounding nine years. This incredible victory has brought much-needed financial stability and peace of mind to my life. The Brain Charity's impact goes far beyond their comprehensive knowledge and services. It is a place where understanding meets expertise, and where compassion merges with professionalism. The dedication they demonstrate towards individuals with neurological conditions is simply unmatched. I cannot emphasize enough the difference The Brain Charity, through Mike's invaluable support, has made in my life. Their ability to empower individuals like me and provide unwavering advocacy is truly extraordinary. I am FOREVER indebted to this exceptional organization for their continuous commitment to improving the lives of those with neurological conditions. To anyone seeking guidance, support, and a compassionate hand to hold during challenging times, I wholeheartedly recommend The Brain Charity. They are a beacon of hope, transforming lives one story at a time.

I would like to say how pleased I was that I spoke with Jamie today at the walton Centre after I had infusion treatment on Sherrington day ward. I try to be as positive as i can dealing with chronic illnesses but she was so easy to talk with and so understanding. It helped me no end. Many thanks to Jamie.

When I returned as a volunteer at the brain charity in Feb 2022 I was welcomed back with open arms I couldn't get over how appreciated it made me feel when it was announced that I would be having a second stint as a volunteer at a charity that did so much when I initially attended in 2012 when I needed to turn a corner I don't think I would have got the welcome back that I received when I walked in the door of the charity like I would have done anywhere else the brain charity to me is a very special place with very special memories I love doing my volunteering with the brain charity and I hope to be there for many years to come as it's family to me
