Spectrum Striders RC have agreed to form an association with Brainwave.  Brainwave works with families to deliver individual home based therapy and exercise programmes that help children with disabilities and developmental delay to achieve their potential.

This association will initially last for 12 months but will be reviewed annually (typically in Sept/Oct prior to our Club AGM and after the Birchwood 10k) to ensure both parties are happy with the arrangement.

Benefits of Association with Spectrum Striders RC for Brainwave

• Support of a well established and experienced running club for the annual Santa Dash 5k at Birchwood.  Spectrum’s many years of organizing and marshalling successful races will be invaluable in helping to promote and manage the event to maximize revenue opportunities.
• Raise awareness to the local running community of Brainwave events and also of Brainwave’s services & skills through links on the Spectrum Striders website.
• Spectrum Striders RC will include Brainwave in their annual charitable contribution.

Benefits of Association with Brainwave for Spectrum Striders RC

• Increased publicity for all of our Spectrum Striders races and for the club generally through local media/publications as Brainwave have excellent links with these.
• Enhance Spectrum Striders RC profile in the local community.

About Brainwave

Brainwave was established in 1982 in Bridgwater, Somerset and in 2009 it opened its third Centre in Birchwood, Warrington which has provided much easier access for families from Cheshire and surrounding areas.  The new Centre boasts two therapy rooms, a family room with a kitchen and a state of the art sensory room with an interactive floor.

Brainwave works with families to deliver individual home-based therapy and exercise programmes that help children with disabilities and developmental delay to achieve their potential.  This can be anything from walking to recognising numbers.  Brainwave looks after a whole range of children with conditions including Cerebral Palsy, Down’s Syndrome and Autism.

If you can help Brainwave in any way, either as a business wanting to adopt us as your Charity Of The Year or as an individual interested in doing a sponsored walk, 10k run or parachute jump, or would simply some like further information and an opportunity to visit the Warrington Centre, then contact Joanne Freeman, Community Manager on 07872 411580

Places on the programme for children are available at the North West Centre at time of writing.  For more information:
