What the charity does

Head for Change provides care and support to players and advice and community to the player's families. We work with scientists to understand more about head injuries caused by sport and with sports' governing bodies to advocate for a preventative approach to player safety. We seek to educate young people about head injury in sport. Head for Change exists to protect the players and the sports.
