Headway Shropshire is delighted to have received a generous £1,000 donation from Nescliffe Young Farmers at their Harvest Supper Ball on Friday, 23 October 2026.
The donation will help support our work with people affected by brain injury, as well as their families and carers across Shropshire.
The evening was also an opportunity to raise awareness of the impact brain injury can have on people’s lives, particularly within the farming community.
Lorna from Headway Shropshire delivered a heartfelt speech, sharing her personal experience of brain injury and explaining how the right support can help people rebuild their confidence, regain independence and find a way forward.
She also highlighted the challenges faced by people whose difficulties may not always be visible to others, and the importance of ensuring that those affected by brain injury know where to turn for help and understanding.
Through her own journey and her work with Headway Shropshire, Lorna continues to help raise awareness and reach people who may otherwise feel they are facing these challenges alone.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Nescliffe Young Farmers for their generosity and for choosing to support Headway Shropshire. We are also incredibly grateful to Lorna for sharing her story so openly and helping others understand the difference that support can make.
This donation will help us continue working towards a community where people affected by brain injury feel understood, supported and empowered to move forward with their lives.
Thank you to Nescliffe Young Farmers for helping us make a difference.
