Headway in Huddersfield
Staff, supporters and special guests- including Deputy Mayor Liz Smaje- attended the official opening celebrations on April 1, marking another milestone for the charity in enabling them to continue providing services to those living with the effects of a brain injury.
The new shop, located on New Street in Huddersfield’s town centre, stocks a wide range of quality pre-loved goods at affordable prices, including women's, men's and children’s clothing, jewellery, books, bric-a-brac and even unique vintage lines, which were specially curated for the opening.
Each item sold helps the charity to raise the money needed to continue frontline services including their freephone nurse-led helpline, Brain Injury Identity Cards, and Headway Emergency Fund.
