This year the Bridport Hat Festival will once again support, with profits from our fundraising and space at the Festival itself, the two very worthwhile head-related charities:
- Brain Tumour Research and
- BIRT (the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust)
Brain Tumour Research
Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age. What’s more, they kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer… yet historically just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.
Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this. The charity is building a network of experts in sustainable research at dedicated Brain Tumour Research Centres whilst influencing the Government and larger cancer charities to invest more nationally

The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust
A charity that leads brain injury rehabilitation across the UK. It is part of the Disabilities Trust group. We aim to provide the best quality neurobehavioural rehabilitation for people with complex and challenging needs after brain injury. Ultimately, we want to enable service users to participate in life as fully as possible, needing the least possible assistance. www.thedtgroup.org/brain-injury
