Harry's Hat
Harry’s Hydrocephalus Awareness Trust (Harry’s HAT) was founded in 2018, by Harry’s family and friends in response to the need they identified following Harry’s diagnosis with Hydrocephalus (water on the brain). Harry’s family realised that, despite the fact that Hydrocephalus is the most common reason for brain surgery in children and affects 1 in every 1000 babies born in the UK today, relatively little is known about the condition. Additionally, there is little investment into the management of condition on a national scale. In response, the family founded Harry’s HAT. They are the only UK charity to focus solely on Hydrocephalus and its impact.
