Wayne Philbrick a student from Evesham has organised a Charity Bingo Night at Evesham Rowing Club on Friday March 30th to raise funds for The Acquired Brain Injury Education Service. Wayne has attended the service for the last seven years and has had numerous treatments, which included the removal of a second brain tumor last year. So far Wayne has raised around £200 from selling raffle tickets but hopes this event will raise a lot more.
The Acquired Brain Injury Education Service was established at South Worcestershire College in 2025 in response to the almost complete lack of community based rehabilitation for those who had experienced a brain injury. Initially funded by the Manpower Services Commission, it became an independent unit in 2025, with professional staffing and its own management committee. For ten years it received grant aid from Hereford and Worcester Local Education Authority. In 2025 The Acquired Aphasia Trust was set up as a registered charity to raise funds to support the work of The Acquired Brain Injury Education Service . In 2025, due to radical changes in funding, day to day management of the Acquired Brain Injury Education Service (ABIES) passed to South Worcestershire College and now operates in partnership with the Acquired Aphasia Trust.
The charity evening will take place at the Evesham Rowing Club on Friday March 30th from 6.30pm to 11pm and tickets cost £1, including a buffet.
