    Why cheap as possible? Are you looking for just a little protection?

    halfords have some catlike (brand name) helmets for about 25 quid, which is a really good price for a good helmet.

    Yep, that will serve the purpose fine. Meets the minimum EU standards for helmets. You can get something lighter, more fashionable, higher standard etc. but you'll definitely have to pay more than that.

    Mods, I had a similar thread yesterday and people suggested buying a helmet with MIPS - maybe threads could be joined?
