Immediate Help Service (IHS)
In March 2018 Falkirk’s Mental Health Association was awarded a £4000 grant from The Pixel Fund towards our Immediate Help Service (IHS).
This will enable us to continue to deliver an unique service to people aged 16 years + who are seeking immediate support for poor mental health when they are in crisis without the need for long waiting lists. Most potential clients are seen within a couple of days although if the concern is grave they will be seen straight away.

HD Specialist Service
Scottish Huntington’s Association (SHA) was established in 1989 by families living with the progressive, genetic, neurological condition, Huntington’s disease (HD). The charity was established by families because, as with many rare diseases, there was a vacuum of support from health and social care services.

Music therapy for people living with Huntington’s Disease
The Pixel Fund has generously supported music therapy for people living with Huntington’s Disease at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability. Huntington’s Disease is an inherited, degenerative, neurological condition which causes damage to nerve cells in the brain and can affect movement, cognition (perception, awareness, thinking, judgement) and behaviour. There is no cure for Huntington’s Disease however recent research at the RHN has focused on the potential of therapies such as music therapy and therapeutic gardening to help maintain cognitive skills and to improve emotional wellbeing.

Biomedical research project run by Dr Anne Astier
More than 100,000 people in the UK have multiple sclerosis – the most common neurological condition in young adults. In MS, the body’s immune system damages the myelin sheath surrounding and protecting nerve fibres. This interferes with messages travelling from the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body.

Researching the role of the family in Brain Injury Rehabilitation
The research is looking into ways to enhance people’s rehabilitation journey post brain injury. This will extend our current understanding to beyond the individual with the injury. It is widely accepted that psychosocial wellbeing and rehabilitation outcomes are influenced by how the patient is able to adjust to life with a brain injury, yet the significance of the family context within which the patient is living has not been adequately addressed.

Meningitis Research Foundation - Pushing the Boundaries
Meningitis is a devastating disease – one in ten people who contract bacterial meningitis will die and many more are left with life changing after effects. The Pixel Fund has supported a ground breaking research project to investigate why some people are more susceptible than others to meningitis by comparing the genetic blueprint of patients with meningococcal disease alongside the genetic blueprint of the particular bacterium that cause their illness.
