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 this year 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.”
