Horizons' occupational therapist Amy, recently attended a two-day conference in London on functional neurological disorders, funded entirely by your support! She's come back armed with ideas on how to benefit future patients. Proudto be investing in staff development 💛
Quick, quick, quick! We've got two tickets for The Beast Race available due to cancellations.
Places are free if you can raise £150 for us!

These are the type of things your donations let us buy - making a real difference to patients at every step of their journey 💛🐻
A special thank you to @friendsofneuro for their gift of new Bariatric Adjustable Parallel Bars at Horizons Rehabilitation Centre!

What an incredible challenge seven dads are taking on for us this weekend!
Starting on Friday night, the group will run along the hill trails around Banchory for about 15 hours, clocking up 100km. Read more about the inspiration behind the challenge here

We don’t want to wait a month or a year; immediate diagnosis leads to urgent care." Nicki Chapman👏

Great to see Aven having fun and staying safe. The 🧠🚴 combo does invite me to say that @friendsofneuro are among the charities that have places available for @ride_the_north 2024. 70/100 miles on the backroads of Angus.
There are lots of other worthy causes too of course!!
A huge thanks to @GrampianCSC for their support at a recent fundraiser. A member asked for some of the proceeds to come to us in recognition of the care his dad received during a long stay at NRU. Lovely to meet Garry + Chris as they handed over £1,250. Thank you! 💛
