At Brain Injury Matters, we were delighted to see the recognition for the Enthusiasts Choir at the Regional Acquired Brain Injury Unit as they celebrate 20 fantastic years. 🎶

We are especially proud of our members who have been part of this inspiring group — not only participating but actively encouraging peers and supporting inpatients to get involved and find their voice.

Initiatives like the Enthusiasts Choir (which include members of the Ormeau Community Choir, Belfast) highlight the power of connection, creativity, and peer support in recovery. They create spaces where individuals can rebuild confidence, form friendships, and truly experience what it means to live beyond an acquired brain injury.

Congratulations to everyone involved on this incredible milestone, and thank you for continuing to inspire hope and community. 💚

A special thanks to Choir Director Una McCann Music and Creative Arts Manager Ciara O'Mally at Brain Injury Matters for the excellent organisation they invested, and to RABIU for inviting us. We had an incredible time!

“Behind every person living with an acquired brain injury, there are carers carrying quiet strength every day. Today we recognise the isolation, pressure, and unseen emotional load many parents, carers, and families face and remind you that you are not alone.

Caring can be full of love, but also full of hidden strain. The responsibilities don’t switch off, and over time it can feel like your own time, energy, and connections slowly disappear without you even noticing.

Many carers are balancing appointments, advocacy, emotional support, finances, and everyday life all at once, often while feeling like others don’t fully see what it takes.

If this is you, your role matters, and so does your wellbeing. Even small moments of connection and simple check-ins can make a real difference.

During Action for Brain Injury Week 2026, we’re recognising parents, carers, and families supporting someone with an acquired brain injury and recognising the strength it takes every single day.“
