Over the last year QEF has worked with over 10,000 disabled adults and children living with physical and learning disabilities or acquired brain injuries, supporting them in gaining new skills and increased independence.
Whether its learning everyday life skills, rebuilding a life affected by brain injury or acquiring the skills to drive a specially adapted car, QEF supports disabled people to achieve their potential, so they can be as independent as possible and live enriched and fulfilled lives.
There are 16m disabled people in the UK.
Every 90 seconds someone is admitted into hospital with an acquired brain injury.
In the next 20 years, the rate of first-time strokes in people 45+ is expected to rise by 59%.
