Hi all,

It's Action for Brain Injury Week! Our See the Hidden Me campaign shines a light on the hidden and often misunderstood effects of a brain injury, and works to alleviate the challenges, and frustrations, survivors face.

We're releasing a wide range of content to help raise awareness, including:

- The results of our survey into the impact of the hidden effects of brain injury

- A powerful new campaign video that aims to raise awareness (watch and share if you can!)

youtube.com/watch?v=7NcaFnc...

..and a range of personal stories and helpful guides will be released throughout the week.

Visit seethehiddenme.org.uk to explore the campaign, and do let us know your thoughts on living with the hidden effects of brain injury in the comments.

I would like to send the video out to my ‘horsey’ friends to raise awareness of safety on and around equines - and hopefully encourage friends to share pictures of them with their hats on for the friday post - can anyone give me some ideas how to go about it via facebook ? Late notice i know

Great video showing affects of brain injury. Could relate to number of issues. Did have problem with one of individual stories. It stopped a couple minutes in and would not restart. Tried few times to access without success.

Not what you're looking for?
