I think it’s only when you’ve been through such challenges yourself that you can truly understand how others are feeling – and it’s wonderful to have friends at Brian House that we can share our experiences with.
When I met her face to face I saw a twinkle in her eye that told me one day she would become my hero.
Visiting Brian House is always a happy occasion as the staff and volunteers do a fantastic job.
I’ll never forget first walking through the doors of Brian House as a mum in need of help. Now I’m here to offer nursing support to other families, doing a job I love, and it’s nice to think that in so many ways it was Adam who inspired it all.

There will always be a hole in our lives, but fundraising for Brian House has given us a great sense of achievement and helped us to manage the pain of losing a child.
Brian House can now offer Summer continuity with this technology at home and at school. It all adds to the ‘home from home’ atmosphere at Brian House.
