Morrish staff put on their Hats for Headway
As part of Brain Injury Week, staff at Morrish Solicitors proudly put on their hats to raise money for Headway, the brain injury charity. The annual ‘Hats for Headway’ fundraising event aims to raise vital funds for Headway, who give help and support to those affected by brain injury.
Staff brought their hats into work and made donations to raise funds for Headway, with the best hat winning a prize. This event was a fantastic opportunity to engage staff in the vital work of Headway across the UK, while at the same time raising awareness of brain injury and its devastating effects.
The consequence of brain injury affects not only the individual but also has an effect on – and can change the lives of – the injured person’s family and friends. A brain injury can result in behavioural changes, which can place pressure on relationships. There is often a massive change to the family unit, with a spouse or partner becoming a carer for their partner or a child.
As part of Action for Brain Injury Week’s emphasis on highlighting issues surrounding caring for someone with a brain injury, Headway UK have conducted a survey-based study looking at the burden placed on carers’ shoulders. Headway hopes to release an analysis of the results.
