Brain Injury Awareness Week

This year the Action for Brain Injury Week 2009 takes place from 11-17 May. The theme for this year's awareness-raising week is cycle helmets.

As many Headway service users will testify, helmets can save lives.

With the cost of travelling increasing, it is likely the number of people taking to their bikes instead of their cars will increase. As a pro-cycling organisation, Headway would welcome any such trend. However, with more people taking to the roads on bicycles, there's even greater need to promote vital safety messages. Therefore, during the week, we will be encouraging cyclists of all ages to wear helmets.

Herefordshire Headway will be planning a series of events to coincide with Brain Injury Awareness Week - please check our Events web page for details.
