The Brain Charity

The Brain Charity opened its Neuro Gym in November 2023, offering a new dimension of support for people with disabilities, mental health challenges, and neurological conditions.

At the heart of this development is gym supervisor Scott Black. Scott was delighted to get the gym supervisor role. Before The Brain Charity, he spent more than 9 years in employment support, helping people with various challenges.

He said, “I’ve previously worked in employment support for people with disabilities, health problems, mental health problems. With that experience, The Brain Charity seemed like a perfect fit.”

A diehard Everton FC fan, Scott brings the same passion for his team to his work at The Brain Charity. He is enthusiastic about raising awareness of the charity’s broad range of services.

He said, “I wish everyone knew exactly where we are and what we do. People think it’s just support for head injuries, but we deal with over 600 different neurological conditions. We offer help with diagnoses, care and support, advocacy, information, employment support, and more. It’s amazing.”

Scott chose three words to describe the charity: “positive, passionate and proud.” This sums up the vibrant atmosphere he helps create.

He’s also proud of the achievements of the charity’s clients:

“We spotlight everyone, every staff member, and every client. We have monthly award winners for our gym clients.”

As the Neuro Gym continues to grow, Scott remains at the forefront, inspiring both staff and clients.
