• National Helpline, run by neuroscience-qualified nurses.
• Expert health information, distributed to individuals, families and hospitals..
• UK-wide peer support groups, tackling loneliness, low self-esteem, and isolation.

Community – Neuro Changemakers: Any person affected by a neurological condition is a Neuro Changemaker. We aim to mobilise a community of experts by experience to create a network of local self-help groups across the UK. These groups contain the tacit knowledge of how best to navigate the health and care structures in their region, as well as addressing unmet need.
