"With the right help, at the right time, there can be life after brain injury," says Luke Griggs, the Chief Executive of Headway, the UK's leading brain injury charity.

In this episode, he speaks to Julia and Elizabeth about his vision for Headway which provides much needed support and information for all affected by brain injury.

The charity helps survivors, carers and wider family members for, as Luke recognises, the ripple affect of brain injury goes "far and wide".

Luke has worked at Headway for the last 16 years but only recently took on the top leadership role.

He reveals his own personal experience of brain injury, realising after he joined Headway that his grandmother had lived with the impact of a brain injury for the majority of her life without help or knowledge.

Luke also talks about how he and Headway are lobbying government for more help and funding for brain injury survivors, asking for people affected by brain injury, to get in touch with their local MP and tell their story.
