Robin Fancourt – Brainwave Founding Trustee
The following comes from an article written in Puke Ariki – Taranaki stories – in 2006 about Robin Fancourt, the founder of The Brainwave Trust. Sadly, Robin’s health has deteriorated and she is now residing in a New Plymouth private hospital.
Brainwave still has a strong & committed group continuing Robin’s wonderful work. In Robin’s own words quoted from this article: “Yes, Brainwave is in good hands. We have some wonderful, wonderful people on the kids’ side, child-orientated people. We struggled for quite a long while, trying to set it up, but now it’s really strong.”
