Harry's Hydrocephalus Awareness Trust

Who we are

Harry’s HAT is a UK based charity focusing on paediatric hydrocephalus. Led by its Board of Trustees, the charity exists to make life better for children and their families affected by the condition. Through awareness raising, education, research support, signposting and campaigning for earlier diagnosis, Harry’s HAT works to ensure families are informed, supported and heard.

Our culture and values

Harry’s HAT is guided by compassion, integrity and lived experience. The charity values openness, collaboration and kindness, placing children and families at the heart of every decision. Trustees and volunteers work together with honesty and respect, committed to learning, listening and creating positive change through thoughtful governance and shared purpose.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Harry’s HAT is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion in all areas of its work. The charity believes everyone should be treated with dignity, fairness and respect, regardless of age, disability, gender identity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation or socio-economic background.

We are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where children, families, trustees, volunteers and partners feel valued, listened to and supported. Discrimination, harassment or exclusion are not tolerated.

Our trustees are responsible for embedding equality, diversity and inclusion into governance, decision making, policies and everyday practice. We will regularly review our approach to ensure it reflects our values, meets legal requirements and supports the diverse communities affected by paediatric hydrocephalus.
