The Children’s Trust is the UK’s leading charity for children with brain injury. They deliver rehabilitation, education and community services through skilled teams who work with children and young people, and their families. They are based in Tadworth, Surrey very close to Epsom Downs race course.
They provide brain injury information in an understandable language and hope that parents, teachers and families find it helpful on their on-going journey following a child's brain injury.
As a mascot I have been privileged to visit staff & patients there & see the amazing work they do.
Every penny donated will really help them be able to make a difference to so many. Thank you for your kind support.
Love Haydon the Womble & all the mascots taking part.
