Last week Chris Tidy attended the Acquired Brain Injury Reception at The Houses Of Parliament in The Jubilee Room.
Acquired Brain Injury is a leading cause of death and disability, affecting more than 1.3 million people and costing £15 billion to the UK economy each year.
Acquired brain injury is an issue for the Department for Health and Social Care; Work and Pensions, Education; and Digital, Culture, Media & Sport; and the Ministries of Justice, Defence, Housing, Communities and Local Government. The need for a national pan-departmental strategy is vital and long overdue.
Hard hat awareness week was developed to highlight head and brain injuries in construction for the UK, Europe and the US. This year’s event takes place on the 12th – 18th of June, and we urge you all to get involved.
Chris was super proud to meet and spend time with these inspirational silver liners who provided him with a day he will never forget.
