Links

During my work designing gardens and researching into traumatic brain injury and other disabilities I come across a number of organizations, some of whom are helpful, some of whom are less so. The links on this page, are for those organizations/people/charities that I have found to be particularly helpful. I would like to make it clear however, that this page is not one of endorsement but is to provide potential assistance. If you find any of these links particularly helpful, or know others where you have received information, encouragement or assistance please do let me know. I would be delighted to include them.
