The Children's Trust is the UK's leading charity for children with brain injury.

The Children's Trust runs a range of specialist care, education and therapy services for children and young people from across the UK, including the UK's largest rehabilitation centre for children with acquired brain injury (ABI) and is based at Tadworth Court, Tadworth, Surrey within the M25 motorway.

The Children's Trust's celebrity Ambassadors are David Walliams, Richard Hammond, Phil Tufnell, Joely Richardson, Adam Hills, Jenni Falconer, Amanda Burton, Elaine Paige, Holly Valance, Sophia Warner and Nicholas Owen.^[1]

The Children's Trust launched an online support centre in 2012 for families of children affected by acquired brain injury. This website offers practical advice and information about a condition that is often misunderstood. There is also an online forum giving families the opportunity to share their stories and experiences.

In May 2022 a coroner criticised The Children's Trust over the death of a five-year-old while under its care. An inquest concluded Connor Wellsted died in 2017 following "entrapment by a loose cot bumper" at the Children's Trust facility in Tadworth, Surrey. Coroner Dr Karen Henderson also criticised the trust for what she said was a "lack of transparency" over the death.^[2] The Children's Trust is a UK registered charity, number 288018.
