SIR - On behalf of Headway, Bradford, I would like to thank everyone who attended our launch in City Hall.

The turnout was remarkable. However, on a sad note, the invitations went out to every practice and hospital, and all consultants in and around the Bradford and Airedale area, but we only received one reply and that was to say they couldn't make it.

You will no doubt by now understand that brain injury comes very low on the list of priorities in the Bradford area.

Having a brain injury does not mean the people who sustain them, or their carers, are any less important in society.

What you can't see in a brain injured person is the memory loss, lack of understanding, frustration, lack of confidence, emotional problems, mood swings and isolation.

Brain injury is commonly mis-diagnosed as depression. People often suffer a genuine depression as a result of their brain injury but this can mask other underlying symptoms.

If you, or someone you know, have been affected by brain injury, Headway Bradford aims to give help and support to victims, their carers and families.

Never feel you are on your own. You can contact us on 07856076866/07856076867.

Julie Scott, Chairman, Headway, Bradford
