2020 was the most challenging year in The Brain Charitys history but the issues aren't new.
Were in the middle of a global emergency. But sadly, many of the secondary issues brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic social isolation, mental health issues and unemployment have been around for some time for The Brain Charity's service users.
Throughout the pandemic, people with neurological conditions have remained some of the most vulnerable in our society, and in desperate need of support.
The Brain Charity finished 2020 having seen a rise of more than 50% in demand for our services compared to 2019. The rise in long COVID, long term mental health shockwaves of the pandemic and rise in unemployment means this is likely to increase further.
More people than ever need the charity's help in these unprecedented times, and, with many of our usual fundraising avenues cancelled due to coronavirus, it is more in need of the public's help than ever. Please donate today.
