Prince Harry to open new home for brain injury charity
OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry is to open a new home for brain injury charity Headway in Nottingham on Thursday April 25, where he will also meet and greet patients and their carers.
Britain’s Prince Harry is to officially open a new home for brain injury charity Headway in Nottingham later this month. The 28-year-old royal will follow in the footsteps of his late mother Princess Diana – who was a patron for the organisation from 1991 to 1996 – by visiting Bradbury House in the East Midlands on Thursday April 25, where he will take part in an interactive class to discuss the problems faced by people suffering from severe damage to the head.
He will also meet and greet patients and their carers at the facility.
Andrew Green, chair of Headway, said: “We are thrilled and delighted that Prince Harry has agreed to visit us in our new home in Nottingham to learn of the work we do to support people affected by brain injury.
“Princess Diana’s support of the charity greatly enhanced its profile and made more people aware not only of brain injury and its effects, but also of the help that was available.
“It will be a momentous day in the history of the charity.”
Harry will also learn about the services made available by the charity, which include a freephone nurse-led helpline, an emergency money fund to assist those struggling with the financial implications of their impediment and an award-winning website and variety of booklets/publications to advise people how to cope with their injury.
