About us
Later this year Brainkind will take over the ownership of Sue Ryders four neurological services, including The Chantry and all staff employed by Sue Ryder at that service will transfer to Brainkind. The Brainkind supports people with acquired brain injuries, physical disabilities and other neurological conditions and the acquisition of Sue Ryder's neurological services is a natural extension to the services the Trust currently provides.
At The Chantry, we provide the care people need to optimise their health and wellbeing, maximise their independence and support their emotional and social needs. We provide specialist neurological care, rehabilitation and support tailored to the individual needs of people with a range of neurological conditions.
