BRAIN INJURY AWARENESS WEEK 2010

‘Hats’ the way to raise money for charity!

Herefordshire Headway would like to thank Ann Dyer and Weobley Primary School who helped to raise vital funds by taking part in Hats for Headway Day and donning a wacky hat for a day on Friday 21st May.

“Hats for Headway Day is a fun and easy way to raise vital funds for the charity,” said Richard Thompson from Herefordshire Headway “All you need to do is make a small donation of £5 and wear a hat for the day in honour of Headway. Of course, the wackier the hat, the better!"

“All the money raised from the event will go towards helping us continue to support local people affected by brain injury, which can devastate lives and happen to anyone at any time. So our thanks to Ann Dyer and the staff and pupils of Weobley Primary School who signed up and got involved to raise much needed funds to help us to continue to improve life after brain injury.”

Hats for Headway coincided with this years Brain Injury Awareness Week which this year focused on awareness in hospitals and surgeries, emphasising the importance of getting a head injury checked as soon as possible.

BRAIN INJURY AWARENESS WEEK 2009

During 2009 the Action for Brain Injury Week took place from 11-17 May. The theme for that year's awareness-raising week was 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 were encouraging cyclists of all ages to wear helmets.
