Cerebra
(Supporting Brain and Other Conditions)

Picture
Cerebra is a unique charity set up to help improve the lives of children with brain related conditions through research, education and directly supporting the children and their carers.
There are around 500,000 children in the UK living with a neurological condition. As one family explains, living with neurological conditions can make life very hard. At Cerebra we work with families to make their lives better.

We help children 16 or under with a wide range of neurodevelopmental disorders and conditions.  The general areas we cover are listed below with a few examples of conditions that fall within the broader categories.  If your child’s specific condition isn’t listed that doesn’t automatically mean we don’t cover it, if we listed every condition this page would go on forever!  After reading this list, if you’re still unsure if we can help you please contact us.
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Autistic Spectrum Disorders
  • Developmental disorders like global developmental delay, dyspraxia and learning disabilities.
  • Seizure disorders such as Epilepsy, west syndrome, lennox gastaut syndrome and dravet syndrome.
  • ADHD
  • Traumatic Brain Injury like head injury and shaken baby syndrome.
  • Acquired Brain Injury due to infections like encephalitis and meningitis, stroke, brain tumours, hypoxic event or haemorrhage.
  • Down syndrome and other Chromosomal/Genetic conditions  - Some examples being Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) and 18 (Edward syndrome), Fragile X, Angelman syndrome, Prader-willi syndrome, Cornelia de Lange, Rett syndrome, Williams syndrome and chromosome deletion disorders.
