BBK Charity grant supports family affected by acquired brain injury

The BBK Charity recently awarded a grant to support a family whose seven year old child is recovering from a severe acquired brain injury following a life-changing accident.

The child has complex care needs and requires reassurance and support from his parents during the night. The grant funded a new bed that allows a parent to remain close to him when needed, helping to provide reassurance and create a safer and more manageable sleeping arrangement for the family.

The family were referred to the BBK Charity by the Child Brain Injury Trust (CBIT), which supports children and families affected by acquired brain injury.

Following its delivery, the family shared these kind words:

“Just to let you know that the bed arrived safely this afternoon!

We’re really pleased and very grateful to you and everyone involved for making this possible.

Thank you again for all your help and continued support.”

We are delighted that the grant has been able to provide some practical support to the child and his family as they continue to navigate his recovery.

We are also grateful to CBIT for helping us reach families who may benefit from this type of support. Sometimes relatively small, practical interventions can make a meaningful difference to everyday family life.
