- Specialised information and resources in areas such as treatment, education and welfare.
- Social events to combat loneliness and create a community of support.
- A pioneering befriending project.
- Financial aid via small grants.
- A close affiliation with the National Association charity, SHINE.
Our team consists of part-time staff and dedicated volunteers. We have invaluable personal experience of supporting loved ones living with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus. We are here to give you specialist support that is specifically designed for the needs of you and your family.
