Kathleen McMonagle is Digby Brown’s Corporate Social Responsibility Manger and organiser of the Head Information Days. Kathleen is encouraging anyone affected by a head or brain injury to come along to one of the 2017 days;

“Head or brain injuries can sometimes be a hidden disability which can leave people feeling vulnerable or isolated.  It doesn’t have to be like this and no-one has to live with this type of injury alone.  There are lots of organisations out there who can provide life-changing help, support and advice.

“Head Injury Information Days are free, fun and informative.  There will be lots of organisations in attendance on each of the days.  I am particularly excited about holding our first day in Edinburgh and the Lothians this year.

“I would really encourage anyone living with a head or brain injury, or with an interest in this field, to come along. We look forward to welcoming you.”
