Brain injury charities Headway and bibic are to share £1,545 raised at a charity golf day organised by personal injury law firm Harris Fowler.
The event was held at Oake Manor Golf Club on September 2 and brought together colleagues, partners and friends of the firm.
The money will be split between Headway Southampton, West Wessex and Isle of Wight and bibic.
Headway supports people affected by acquired brain injury, as well as their families and carers, across an area that includes the Isle of Wight.
The effects of a brain injury can potentially affect a person’s independence, relationships, employment and everyday life.
Ongoing support and rehabilitation can play an important role in helping people and their families adjust to life following an acquired brain injury.
Bibic provides specialist support to adults, children and young people with developmental and neurological difficulties, disabilities and brain injuries, as well as their families.
Harris Fowler was represented at the golf day by chief executive Grant Fowler, director Neil Williams and marketing manager Tom Marshall.
They were joined by representatives from Bauer, Old Mill, ARAG and Tula Medical Experts.
Harris Fowler said its work brings it into contact with people and families whose lives have been changed by serious injuries.
The firm said compensation can provide financial security and access to rehabilitation, but support may still be needed after a claim has concluded.
This can include specialist rehabilitation, practical assistance, emotional support and guidance for the person affected and their family.
It said its relationships with Headway Southampton, West Wessex and Isle of Wight and bibic form part of its wider commitment to helping people affected by serious injuries access support.
Following its first Charity Golf Day, Harris Fowler said it hopes it will lead to further opportunities to raise money and awareness for organisations supporting people and families affected by serious injury.
