the world. They are the primary source of support and information for people with tinnitus in the UK, facilitating an improved quality of life. They aim to encourage prevention through the educational programme and to seek effective treatment for tinnitus through a medical research programme.

Brain injury can challenge every aspect of your life – walking, talking, thinking and feeling – and the losses can be severe and permanent.
It can mean losing both the life you once lived and the person you once were.
We all think ‘it will never happen to me’, but every year around 350,000 people are admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury.
That’s one every 90 seconds.
A brain injury can happen to anyone, at any time. When it does, we’re here to help.
