Headway is asking local sports clubs to ‘be concussion aware’ as part of a national campaign launched on 9th May 2016. When the campaign is officially launched in May, sports clubs and academic institutions will have access to a range of materials, including a factsheet giving advice about concussion, posters to display both online and in changing rooms, and a digital stamp to demonstrate the club has adopted a responsible approach to concussion. In the meantime, Headway Preston and Chorley is inviting sports clubs to register interest in supporting the campaign or fundraising for the charity during Action for Brain Injury Week.
