We are delighted to announce that our 30th Anniversary year will culminate with our fantastic Diamond Awards Gala. This exclusive awards ceremony evening takes place on March 4th 2022 at the Hilton Doubletree Oxford Belfry, in the region where our wonderful charity was established.
The evening will be a celebration of those individuals and teams who’ve gone above and beyond to help the Child Brain Injury Trust meet our goals and enabled us to support many thousands of families.
