Every year, over <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>5,000 children</strong></span> sustain a brain injury so severe that they are left unable to walk, talk, swallow, communicate or even breathe by themselves. With your generosity The Children’s Trust will be able to reach up to <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>100,000</strong> </span>children severely brain injured by providing critical support and services to them and their families where they need it most. As someone with rather a lot of experience of a child with mental disability, I know firsthand how much the services provided by The Children’s Trust mean to the children and families that they support. </span></span></p>
