Story
The Children's Trust faces the toughest challenge of its 36-year history. The cost of the Covid-19 crisis has hit us hard. We are asking our amazing supporters to help us continue to meet the complex needs of the children and families we care for.
Your donation will help us continue to support children like Mia. In July 2019, 12 year old Mia was involved in an accident whilst quad biking. Having sustained a serious head injury, Mia was put into an induced coma at the scene before being airlifted to hospital.
After life saving brain surgery, Mia found out that she received a placement at The Childrens Trust in Surrey. Mia had regained many of her physical skills, but she still needed support, especially with her cognitive functions including attention, memory, and language.
Mia, with mum Angela, arrived in Tadworth and started her two month specialist rehabilitation programme of Physiotherapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Hydrotherapy.
Mia's Mum Angela said "coming to The Childrens Trust has helped her so much and me! All the staff are just so supportive and being able to socialise with the other young people has really helped restore a new level of confidence in her. "
With your help we can continue to support children like Mia and provide world class care and support to children and families affected by brain injury.
