Headquartered in Carmarthen, South Wales with a fundraising centre in Bristol, Cerebra is a specialist charity dedicated to helping children with neurological disabilities as a result of brain injury. The charity has three key primary aims: funding ground-breaking research, providing grants for parents and items such as educational toys or equipment that cannot be obtained through public funding, and support for parents and careers through its PARNET network.
