Give a Child a Chance – The Child Brain Injury Trust's Small Grants Programme

Childhood acquired brain injury is not something you plan for and the effects on a child, their friends and entire family are likely to be life-long. We appreciate that family life is expensive and that many activities that the general public take for granted are simply out of the reach for many families.

The Child Brain Injury Trust has developed a small grants programme to support children who are missing out due to financial hardship. The purpose of the grant is to provide a relatively small amount (max £100) to the child with an acquired brain injury and their brothers and sisters enabling them to take part in social activities.

If you would like to make an application for a small grant from the Give a Child a Chance programme, please read CBIT's Guidance and if you are eligible, click here to download an application form.

With a little help from his mum, little Charlie told us:
“Mummy is working hard to stimulate my eyes and body to give me the best chance…but she couldn't afford a projector because she is looking after me and my big sister. She sold some of her things to help raise the money but you have helped to pay for my equipment. Thank you for helping mummy to help me.”

*Names have been changed to protect the child’s identity.

We can only award 'Give a Child a Chance' grants thanks to the generosity of charitable trusts, foundations and clubs such as the Rotary Club and the Lions Club. We thank our donors for helping the Child Brain Injury Trust to make a positive difference in the lives of children affected by acquired brain injury.
