A national brain injury charity is appealing for volunteers in Pershore.

Headway, which assists survivors of brain injuries and their families, is looking for friendly volunteers who could assist in various ways, from greeting customers, to sorting donations and maintaining a tidy shop floor.

David Byrne, the charity's head of retail, said: "Our Headway Pershore shop is very busy, so we desperately need more kind, positive people to join our team.

"No experience is necessary, and we would be really happy to provide volunteers with training and support."

Approximately 350,000 hospital admissions relating to brain injuries are made annually, which is the equivalent to one every 90 seconds.

These injuries can result from various incidents, including strokes, brain tumours or accidents.

Money from sales in the charity's stores provides support to those impacted by brain injuries.

Mr Byrne said: "Volunteering is also a fantastic way to learn new skills, make new friends, and to feel more connected to your community.

"We'd love to hear from you if you can spare us a few hours a week.

"You will become an important part of helping improve life after brain injury."

The shop can be contacted by calling 01386 552 301, or by visiting the team at 54 High Street.
