Coronavirus update

The Brain Charity is supporting action to slow the spread of the coronavirus/COVID-19, so

most of our our events, classes and workshops are currently on hold following the latest guidance from Public Health England.

We are in the process of setting up weekly group chats (by telephone or skype) for anyone who is self-isolating

We will update our website as things change, so please bookmark this page to stay in the loop.

Coronavirus: All centre-based group activities organised and run by the The Brain Charity will cease until further notice.

Lots of groups meet at The Brain Charity, as you can see below. Support groups offer a way for people affected by a condition to share experiences and gain an understanding of how a condition can affect others. Support groups are a great way of meeting new people and learning new coping strategies to help through illness to recovery.

It can be daunting to join a new group at first but everybody in that group will understand how it feels to be the new person so you can be sure of a warm welcome.

Join us in our café, meet new friends and old.
