Every year we support thousands of children and families right across the country. We provide rehabilitation to help children make the best recovery possible after a serious accident or illness, both at our national specialist centre in Tadworth and in the community.

Story

<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;">Thank you for visiting this page, but this is only the first step! I really need you to dig into your pocket to help a very deserving cause</span></p> <p> <div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;"></div> <div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;">The Children's Trust is a national charity that provides a unique combination of specialised care, therapy and education to children who have an acquired brain injury as a result of illness or a tragic accident. &nbsp;Most of the children that The Children's Trust cares for cannot walk or talk, and have impaired hearing or vision, or both; many cannot swallow and require feeding by tube; some cannot breathe independently and depend on artificial ventilation</div> <div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;"></div> <div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;">But through the work of The Children's Trust, kids are given the chance to lead a fulfilled and happy childhood, and their families are supported in dealing with the situation and making plans for the future.&nbsp;</div> </p> <p> <div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;"> <div>My words don't do justice to all the work they do, so please take the time to have a look at the website (www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk) to see what goes on and to read a some of stories about the children that The Children's Trust has helped.</div> </div> <div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;"> <p>But there's also a very personal element to this. Cath has been working&nbsp;for nearly two years&nbsp;as a teacher in the school for the children with acquired brain injury, and I can't help but be moved when she talks about some of the kids she teaches and the progress they are able to make as a result of the work that the Trust does.</p> <p>I&nbsp;hope that you can support this cause - your generosity is much appreciated.</p> <p>Thank you!!</p> </div> </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
