About this cause

For over 20 years we have been supporting brain injured people and their carers from around the Wakefield district. Our objective is to provide our members with a pleasant environment where they can express their creativity through activities like painting and singing as well as allow their carers to interact with others who understand the challenges they face. We meet twice per week which for some is the only social contact they have and provide a wholesome meal, plenty of cuppas, lots of chit-chat and the time and support to explore their creative side. Other annual events we hold include race nights, auctions and sing along events. We also hold regular carers events to give them a well earned break from some of the challenges they face at home.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Our project will aim to give our local community a much greater understanding of people with brain injuries as well as showcase the valuable work done by volunteers in our communities. We hope that the art workshop will also help youngsters in our community to uncover "hidden talents" whether thats through creative art or simply interacting with our members.
