Its charity page states it is the UK's only charity dedicated to providing diagnosis and treatment for migraine and other primary headache, and that since 1980 it has enabled those affected to access consultant neurologists and GP headache specialists.

Alongside its clinic, it says it facilitates research, improves professional skills in the NHS and beyond, advocates for access to effective, evidence-based treatment, and supports better self-management through patient education.
