THE CHARITY
The Children’s Trust is the UK’s leading charity for children with brain injury and neurorehabilitation. The charity provides rehabilitation, medical care, special education, community services and expert information. Our key services are: • Rehabilitation for children with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) • A non-maintained special school, with associat- ed residential houses for children with complex education, health, therapy and care needs • Support for children with ABI and their families in the communities across the UK, through our Brain Injury Community Services. • Online information and support via our publica- tions and braininjuryhub.co.uk
ship with the NHS and local authorities to provide a step-down pathway of care between hospital and home. The centre is entirely child and family focused to ensure that their needs are appropriately supported. In the community, we provide clinical support to complement local services and give children and young people with ABI the best chance of succeed- ing at home and in school. We are the only paediatric centre with a national specialised commissioning contract (through NHS England) to provide brain injury rehabilitation for children with severe brain injury. Our other services are funded through local health commissioners (such as clinical commissioning groups), social care and education authorities, together with the mil- lions raised through voluntary fundraising.
supporters, our 24 acre Tadworth site features a mod- ern hydrotherapy pool, accommodation for parents, specially adapted equipment, soft play areas and a wheelchair-accessible treehouse. We run a non-maintained special school for children with complex education, health, therapy and care needs with associated residential houses. The Chil- dren’s Trust School supports children and young people from 2 – 19 years old and is dual-registered with the Care Quality Commission (the school residential hous- es) and Ofsted Education. The Children’s Trust is a charitable organisation with approximately 595 committed staff and 560 volun- teers with a range of expertise across nursing and care, education, therapy, operations and centralised support functions such as finance, HR, fundraising and commu- nications. A number of these staff are based off-site around the UK as part of our community work or in our charity shops.
