Action for Brain Injury Week – Every 90 Seconds

Why does Headway run an Action for Brain Injury week?

• To raise awareness and understanding of brain injury so as to improve the lives of Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) survivors through enhanced support and better social interactions.
• To give a platform to brain injury survivors and empower them to share their story.
• To raise awareness of Headway, making more people aware of us and creating a positive impression.  This is beneficial for the health of the charity – it means more people use our services and support us too.
• To encourage support for Headway through donations, volunteering and amplifying the message,

Theme:  Every 90 Seconds

Strokes, falls, road traffic collisions, assaults, brain tumours, meningitis… these are just a few examples of brain injury causes.  It only takes a few seconds for a life to be completely knocked off course.  Brain injuries can have devastating, life-long effects on anyone including you and your loved ones.  Headway is here to support everyone affected by a brain injury, and those caring for them.  Through the support of a network of local groups and branches, our free helpline and comprehensive online resources, we rebuild lives – second by second, step by step, day by day.

Take a second to find out more and, if you can, please get involved – by donating, volunteering, or simply raising awareness of our services – because every 90 seconds, someone like you needs our help.

 Take A Second:

• Take a second and stop scrolling down your feed
• Take a second to understand
• Take a second to make a difference
