Acquired Brain Injury Ireland

A huge congratulations and thanks to Izel and Lonan from our Ellensborough team in Dublin, who recently took on our fundraising challenge at Dalkey Quarry. They descended an impressive 25 metres down the rock face, a fantastic achievement and no small feat! Together, they raised over €800 in support of our Ellensborough service.

We were also delighted to have a corporate team from AXA take part in the challenge. Challenges like this are a great way for teams to have a day away from the office while making a difference.

Our Carlow-based neuro-rehabilitation group, Neuro Champs love their social outings. The group meet every Friday morning at the Cabin Cafe in Carlow town for peer and professional support and to participate in a range of rehab-focused activities. This group has become such an important part of each member's week, providing a safe space for them to socialise with people who understand. Recently, they celebrated 2 years since the group was set up. To mark the occasion, the group members went for a delicious breakfast at Teach Dolmain in and these photos say it all!
