A Hitchin-based charity that aims to help adults who have suffered brain injuries has issued a rallying cry for cyclists to take part in their latest fundraiser.

Headway Hertfordshire work tirelessly to improve life after a brain injury for adults who have been immediately affected and the loved ones who care for them.

The Bancroft-based Herts charity are calling for cyclists to join their Spinathon to be held a week on Saturday (February 25).

Every 90 seconds someone in the UK experiences a brain injury. At Hitchin's Headway Hertfordshire they offer a wide range of services which help people – and those who care for them – adjust to their 'new normal'.

By taking part in their charity Spinathon you will be helping to raise much-needed funds for this worthy charity.

Headway's John Archer told Hitchin Nub News: "We work closely with people who have a brain injury, their carers and families.

"We aim to reduce social isolation, improve health and wellbeing and give carers a break.

"We also work to raise awareness with local groups, professionals, statutory authorities, charities and others through presentations, talks and face to face meetings."
