Worlds Biggest Beanie for Brain Injury Awareness

Belinda Adams and has been advocating for brain injury awareness for many years now, as a mother of a son with a TBI, as a Carer and as an Ambassador for the Hopkins Centre.

We have come a long way with incredible work being done by change makers around the globe, but we still have a long way to go. How powerful our voices could be if we unite in a shared mission to create a big wave of awareness!

Needlework has long been associated with activism for a cause and there is no greater cause than one that is for people that are still fighting for equity in access to resources due to the invisible nature of brain injury.

So let's make the world's biggest beanie to elevate our mission and amplify our voices. By contributing one small 20 cm x 20 cm square, knitted or crocheted, we can connect people around the world in a common cause to make a difference. 

With a goal of 13,500 it's time to get knitting.

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.
