We are looking for volunteers!

Volunteers are a big part of our community. They work alongside our team, spend time with our members and get involved in art, cooking, music and gardening.

About a third of our volunteers have a brain injury and bring valuable understanding and experiences to the role. Others are looking for a relaxed environment to socialise or are interested in learning more about brain injury and the complexities of living with a disability.

Whether it’s visiting our centre in Hackney once a week or getting involved in our events, there are plenty of ways to join our community.
