Join us in London for our brain injury conference, where our exciting line-up of speakers will explore how communication evolves following an acquired brain injury.  
 
You’ll hear from advocacy specialists and leading experts in speech therapy, who will address cognitive communication disorders and multicultural communication challenges. Representatives from the United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum (UKABIF) will provide an update on the national ABI strategy and their N-ABLES group will share insights on how to support education professionals to teach children with brain injury.  
 
Liam Hamilton and Meg Fozzard from our Imagine campaign will join us, alongside more of our inspirational clients, to share their lived experience of brain injury following serious injury or medical negligence.  
 
And prepare to be entertained with a special stand-up comedy slot and music from Headway East London's Choir.  
 
Charities working in brain injury and disability will be exhibiting throughout the day, providing excellent opportunities for networking and connection.

A few words about our artwork 
 
‘Organised Chaos’ is how life feels for artist Brad Reay, who woke up in hospital unable to walk or talk when a cyst was found on his brain. After seven major brain surgeries, he now needs 24-hour care because of his memory loss. Brad finds solace and serenity in drawing and painting and each mark is a step towards his inner peace. Brad has showcased his work at prestigious venues such as the Southbank Centre, Rich Mix, Autograph Gallery, Barbican Curve Gallery and UCLH. His compositions and use of vivid colour resonate deeply with viewers, evoking a range of emotions and leaving a lasting impression.
