Give a star

This Christmas we invite you to join and support our “Under the Same Sky” campaign.

Life can change in an instant after brain injury, for both individuals and their families, but no matter where we are, or what we’ve been through we are all connected by the same sky, guided by moments of compassion, support and light.

Donate today and leave a message with your star: to a loved one, a December wish, or share a moment of kindness or connection that you’ve experienced. Every star will help light up our virtual sky and every donation will go directly to help people rebuild their lives after brain injury.

Together we can create a constellation of kindness representing our network of support, friendship and hope.

Andy’s story

Andy has been visiting Oxford Head Injury Services, every week for 14 years. He was born with a brain injury, but experienced another head injury at the age of eight which resulted in him needing further treatment and later surgery at the age of twelve.

Andy says our support has transformed his life.

My life would be a lot less without Oxford Head Injury Services and I’ve so much to be thankful for. They really are the very best in supporting brain injury warriors like me.
