We currently have vacancies on our board of trustees and in particularly would be keen to hear from those with experience in the following areas:

It is an exciting time to be joining Brainwave, as throughout 2022 we will be celebrating our 40th year of providing ‘life-changing’ therapies for disabled children and their families. This could be anything from a child walking or feeding themselves, to counting or forming sentences.
