This year the concert will be followed by a drinks reception Christmas cards now available: We have seven new card designs this year and our full range is available to view and buy online below. Be sure to order soon − the top picks always sell out fast! Reflection and remembranceWe would like to invite you to our service of remembrance on Sunday 3 November. The service will be held in the Chapel at The National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery from 3-5pm and will be led by UCLH Trust chaplain Peter Harries. Being with others who have experienced a similar loss at a special service can be a huge comfort − and this will offer an opportunity to reflect and remember our friends and loved ones. Space is limited, so if you would like to attend, please register your interest by emailing, using the link below. We will have light refreshments following the service. We hope to see you there. ALIM19: a huge success!It was the sixth year we ran our fundraising exhibition, A Letter in Mind, and it was a very special one. We sold a record number of artworks for 2019 − currently 289 − and we have raised around £25,000 as a result of artwork sales and associated donations. We want to thank everyone who supported A Letter in Mind − from the artists and the buyers to the volunteers who gave up their time to help us too. There are still around 100 wonderful artworks left to snap up, so do have a browse today. Smile when you shopThere are all sorts of ways to support The National Brain Appeal.
