Our programs
The programs we fund and support to provide our families with the best quality of life.
Brainwave Parents Connect Facebook Group
Brainwave Connect is a safe and welcoming meeting place for parents of children registered with Brainwave to come together. This online group offers parents a friendly, supportive platform to share their thoughts and ideas.
Connecting Families
Camp Brainwave
Brainwave’s Camps are run over one and two days for families who have a child with a brain illness or injury. The camps were developed as part of Brainwave’s Care Program. At Camp Brainwave, families enjoy games and activities for all ages and abilities. Families can reconnect in a safe, respectful, and supportive environment.
Family Days
For many of our Brainwave families, having a child with a serious brain illness can have a significant impact on the family unit. Common everyday activities like a family trip to the supermarket, park, or play centre can be out of reach, with one parent often staying at home to care for the unwell child. This can lead to the disruption of family relationships and social isolation for parents and siblings. Our social days allow families to engage in experiences together. In addition, there are opportunities for families to meet with others in similar situations and build key support networks.
Christmas Party
Our Christmas parties are a time for our communities to connect, celebrate, and make wonderful memories. Brainwave’s Christmas Parties are a special day out for families. Children can participate in a range of activities, including a Santa meet and greet, face painting, letter writing, photo opportunities, and rides. Brainwave’s Christmas parties bring families together to share in the magic of Christmas.
Kids and Sibs
Kids and Sibs is a popular Brainwave school holiday program. This unique event provides an opportunity for inclusive play between Brainwave children and their siblings. Kids and Sibs is an action-packed session where children of all abilities can bounce, climb, and swing in a safe and supported space.
The event encourages children to develop new friendships and draw inspiration from one another. Kids and Sibs is a hugely successful program and a favourite for many of our Brainwave families.
