Events and Community Fundraising



In the picture above, we see TEAM MERLIN who ran the Bristol Half Marathon on 11 September 2011 and will have raised £3,500 for us. Team Merlin is made up of people from Agusta Westland and Lockheed Martin and the MOD based in Yeovil and Bristol. One of their team wasn't able to make it to the event as they were in Oman, so he ran the 13.1 miles there!

The Maypole Inn, Thurloxton, gathered together some brave souls together in the summer to join the staff at the pub in a skydive for Brainwave which took place at Dunkeswell airfield. With the sponsor money finally gathered in, the efforts of all those who took part, totalled £4309.63; a cheque for which was recently presented to Brainwave's SW Community Fundraiser, Paul Smith. Anyone interested in taking part in something similar can sign up at any time, or join in our 30th Birthday Skydive on 8 September 2012! Just contact Paul on 01278 726927 or email

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.
