On the 18th November 2009, HRH The Countess of Wessex formally opened Brainwave's new Centre in Birchwood Warrington.

National charity Brainwave provides home based therapy programmes for children with cerebral palsy and other conditions such as development delay.

Almost fifty guests, supporters, families and staff were present to see The Countess unveil a commemorative plaque. Amongst the guests were HM The Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire and his wife, Mrs William Bromley Davenport; The High Sheriff of Cheshire and the Mayor and Mayoress of Warrington.

Christine Cryne, Brainwave's Chief Executive Officer, said "Her Royal Highness has been Brainwave's President for around six years. She is a great supporter and Her presence has added a touch of magic to what was a very special occasion for us. This new Centre has increased our capacity and will make it much easier for families in the North to access our services".

The new Centre boasts two therapy rooms, a family room with a kitchen and a state of the art sensory room with an interactive floor. The building was chosen for the Centre due to its easy links both by road and rail, being a five minute walk from Birchwood Station.

"I will always be grateful. You took the time to listen and showed me ways that I could help my daughter. You gave me the confidence that I could do something myself to help and was not just waiting for something to happen. "
DOWN SYNDROME TESTIMONIAL - EMMA

I think Brainwave is brilliant. I'd been looking for this type of help, and although it took me three years, I know I've found it.

The therapists are fantastic; they are so supportive. At the Initial Assessment, they really gave us hope and made us feel there is something we can do to help Emma. They were there to help us, and to teach us how to help Emma.

So many people you see suggest that you do a bit of this, or that you do that, it can become quite mind-boggling. To have a clear and structured programme written down in a simple list that you know is addressing all her areas of development, is brilliant. You know then that you're doing as much as you can.

Although Emma had just taken a few steps when we started Brainwave a couple of months ago, I still can't quite get my head around seeing her walking about now. We started with working on her balance, and now she's doing so well.
