Biggest Beanie Brunch for Brain Injury Awareness Week

On August 25th, the Biggest Beanie Brisbane has ever seen will be constructed in front of Brisbane's iconic Story Bridge during #BIAW2024 as part of a documentary to raise awareness for brain injury.

The beanie will be made up of the thousands of unique knitted and crocheted squares which have been quietly hand crafted by volunteers all over Australia and around the world, reflecting the often invisible journey of brain injury survivors, on their road to recovery.

Come along and join The Hopkins Centre's Belinda Adams OAM as we witness the beanie rise up in front of the Story Bridge, signifying the importance of everyone's story and showcasing the power of what we can achieve when we all work together to shine a light on what is known as the invisible disability.

This campaign was made possible by the hundreds of individuals who knitted or crocheted squares. We thank every single person for the time and heart that was sewn into every stitch. All squares will be recycled and donated to Wrap with Love Inc, providing love and warmth to someone in need at the completion of the campaign.
