BlindsbyPost has announced The Brain Charity as the winner of a bundle of thermal blinds following a recent competition, which called on people from across the North West region to nominate business, charities, schools and other organisations that are deserving of an office or building upgrade.
In winning the competition, The Brain Charity has secured a prize bundle of new thermal blinds, to upgrade its centre and provide insulating properties to reduce the cost of heating.
Based in Liverpool, The Brain Charity is the only UK charity that supports all 600 neurological conditions that may affect the brain, spine or nervous systems. Founded in 1993, its core services include an information and advice service, employment support, welfare and benefits advice and counselling specifically tailored to those with neurological conditions. In recent years, it has pioneered projects using unique art-based therapies with children and people living with dementia.
Now with a team of around 50 members of staff and more than 80 volunteers, the need for its services has increased dramatically since the Covid-19 pandemic. Over the past 30 years, the organisation has worked tirelessly to deliver a range of services to tackle the acute needs of the neurological community across the UK.
The Brain Charity’s day services and office space has inhabited the same centre in Liverpool for 30 years and due to the nature of the building, the windows are a source of needless heat loss.
Tui Benjamin Thorp, Head of Communications at The Brain Charity said: ‘We’re thrilled to have been selected as the competition winner. We provide a warm space for clients to come and receive support and socialise, and it just got a little bit warmer! These new thermal blinds will hopefully help reduce our energy bills at a difficult time for charities due to the cost of living crisis, benefitting both our neurological community and our staff.”
Oliver Hudson, Managing Director at BlindsbyPost is thrilled to be supporting the charity. He said: ‘’The Brain Charity is a fantastic organisation that works tirelessly to provide excellent support to those living with neurological conditions.
We hope the office revamp will provide a warm and sociable space for its users, with our thermal blinds meaning there’s the potential for the charity to save on energy bills.’’
