What's On - Shine Events

To celebrate Hydrocephalus Awareness Week, our specialist teams will be running a variety of online sessions for our Shine members of all ages to inform, support, and connect with our members and supporters.

From Zoom sessions to local meet-ups, this week is all about raising awareness, sharing knowledge, and celebrating those living with hydrocephalus.

Book on to our events

Living with Hydrocephalus

#LivingWithHydrocephalus is a campaign to both celebrate and educate.

The condition means many different things to many different people, but it doesn’t define them. We’re appealing to members to show that by sharing a photograph that gives a glimpse into the real lives of the hydrocephalus community.

It could be something memorable or mundane, something fantastic or that frustrates you. 

Together, your photos will show the world what life really looks like for people with hydrocephalus and help to change misconceptions.

You can send your photo to us by emailing marketing@shinecharity.org.uk (make sure to include a brief explanation) or you can post your image to social media during Hydrocephalus Awareness Week* using the hashtag #LivingWithHydrocephalus.

*Please note that by providing a photo, you are giving Shine permission to share this image in marketing activity, including on our social media pages, throughout Hydrocephalus Awareness Week.

Hats On for Hydrocephalus

This Hydrocephalus Awareness Week, join us for 'Hats On For Hydrocephalus Day' on Friday 14th March. Taking part is easy:
