Gifts in Kind |
Corporate Community Programmes are often more geared towards employee volunteering than cash gifts and Brainwave is very keen to explore how your business can interact with ours, for mutual benefit.
The skill base of your staff can be very relevant to the needs of our families.
- Lawyers can provide professional advice on establishing family trusts or in drafting Wills on a pro bono basis.
- Parents of children following a Brainwave Programme could appreciate a make over of their garden or would love to decorate a room, but can neither afford the time or money.
- IT skills are always in demand as is other specialised management input into the Charity
At the other end of the spectrum are unusual items which would sell on Brainwave's ebay site http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Brainwaves-assortment. Invite your staff to clear their attics of unwanted bric-a-brac, which are surplus to their requirements, but may be worth a great deal to a collector.
If you would like to talk about your company's priorities in this area, contact Julie Verne at or phone her on: 07738 252191

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.
