A CHARITY that supports children with disabilities and additional needs has discussed its vital work with the Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce.

Diogo Rodrigues, Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce manager, met with Dawn Chance, lead specialist paediatric physiotherapist, and Sarah Cummins, national fundraising manager for Brainwave.

Brainwave, a member of the chamber of commerce, exists to help children achieve greater independence by improving their mobility, community skills, and learning potential through a range of specialist therapies.

Diogo was given an explanation of the ways the charity supports young people and was shown some of its facilities, including a sensory room and a hydrotherapy room, which is also used for baby's swimming lessons.

He said: “Dawn and Sarah have shown me what is an incredible facility in the heart of Bridgwater.

“This is a charity that does some remarkable work not just in Bridgwater but nationwide.

“They have a special team of people here that really do care about the young people that use these facilities and want to make a difference to their lives. That must be commended.

“The Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce doesn’t just represent businesses in Bridgwater but charities too, and we are so pleased that Brainwave is part of our business network.”

This year marks Brainwave's 40th anniversary, and the charity has invited anyone that has been touched by the charity to take part in its celebrations. 

There are several ways to get involved such as fundraising, donating, or raising awareness of their work.
