Brain Injured Children Trust

Vision: To Support families/Whanau to achieve their children’s developmental milestones Mission: To empower our families/Whanau by providing life changing resources that will enhance the quality of life for their brain injured children The Trust was established in 1993 and is run by a committed team who support families that want to take part in Neuro Developmental therapy programs (NDTP). Throughout the years we have supported over 300 NZ Families. This successful program is an intensive daily retraining program involving repetitive aided physical exercises and activities for children that have suffered brain injury. Most parents want to provide the very best for their children and this is no different for parents of children with brain injury. We know that through our NDTP programme support our children will gain a huge boost in self-confidence and personal development, the outcome being an improvement in their health and well being and the ability to be able to reach for the stars. Our children inspire others living with a disability to get out and live life to the fullest. This builds a strong sense of community, a community that disabled children can be proud to be part of and where disabled people are seen to be making valuable contributions to society. Testimonials It is a hard, tough journey but one of the moments of light is when people help you give your child something you couldn’t. With the support of the Trust and its donors. We get to experience watching our little girl learnt to sit, to stand, to walk, to talk, to eat, to take the lid off a marker! Mia The work the trust does to support children and families with disabilities goes far beyond just money. Their love, support, advice and experience as parents who have also raised disabled children has got us through some very tough times. They are a shoulder to lean on, cry on and then lift you back up so you can get back into the fight again. They are in your corner 100% of the way. Eli
