Mission Statement
We provide holistic therapy, social and emotional support tailored to the rehabilitation needs of adults with neurological conditions and their carers, empowering them to maximise their abilities and live life to the full.
About This Cause
INS has been working for over 30 years in Hounslow, Richmond and surrounding boroughs. Our team of professional therapists (physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy), trained counsellors, therapy assistants, activity co-ordinators and volunteers) work in different locations, as well as online, to give people with neurological conditions and their carers the skills, strategies and support to manage their condition and help them stay connected with their social and community networks. Currently we are providing rehabilitation, social and emotional support to over 700 people with neurological conditions, including Stroke, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, MND and brain injury, as well as their family carers. At INS, we assess the whole person before providing services and support to help with physical, cognitive and communication issues and improve people’s independence, confidence and social participation. We offer support for as long as needed, often over many years. Help and advice is also available for family carers, many of whom have health issues of their own. All individual services including therapy and counselling sessions, carers’ groups and social and creative activities are free of charge. We make a small charge for some therapy groups. Our accessible premises in Twickenham include a gym with specialist equipment, therapy rooms and a garden. We deliver individual and group therapy sessions, sports and exercise groups, creative and social activity groups and counselling. Following the development of virtual services during Covid-19, we continue to offer some therapy and activity groups and counselling sessions online or by phone, depending on service users’ delivery preferences. This includes exercise sessions as well as groups like Creative Writing. We want people to be able to access the range of neuro support which INS can offer in the community where they need it. Our long-term strategy is to provide INS services through satellites in community centres in less accessible parts of Hounslow and Richmond boroughs, co-locating services with other local voluntary organisations where possible so we can reach more adults with neurological conditions and their carers. INS currently runs weekly slots in community centres in Barnes, Brentford and Feltham, with a range of exercise, therapy and activity sessions, as well as information and advice.
