Community Silverlining Hubs

London

The central London Hub was started in 2006 by Dr Sherrie Baehr, Neuropsychologist, with a handful of people coming together to support one another through a life after brain injury. Our London Hub has grown to become our biggest and most diverse group. The London Hub is now run by Dr Sherrie Baehr, Laween Saadi, our Link Worker, and Haley Babstock, our Rehabilitation Coordinator, who support community activities ranging from dinners out, to Art Therapy to Musical evenings, and events across central London.
