Story
I am a Neuro Physiotherapist working with people with neurological conditions at The Brightwell in North Bristol. I work with people with a range of conditions from Multiple Sclerosis to Stroke. I would love to raise a target of £250 for our Charity to go towards new facilities. Any donations welcome!
There are an estimated 4.7 million people in the UK living with a neurological condition, in our region alone, in 2018, it was thought that just over 10,000 people were living with a long term chronic neurological condition. A diagnosis of a neurological condition is often a traumatic moment, and The Brightwell offers a safe space to terms with the news and work out a way to move forward. The therapies we offer are designed to address the many different symptoms of a neurological condition and our aim is to help people live a full, meaningful and independent life. Our core treatment of oxygen therapy is not available outside of MS Therapy Centres, apart from a handful of very expensive private clinics. For most of our members the idea of funding private treatment, not available on the NHS, is completely out of reach.
