On behalf of the Board of Trustees, our best wishes to you all this Christmas and New Year. When the COVID-19 pandemic really started to hit, we were very concerned about how we could keep Headway SELNWK running. We weren't sure how we could continue to support our members and raise enough funds to ensure the charity remained viable. Despite all of these challenges, we have been able to ensure that Headway SELWNK is on a secure financial footing as we start to open up again. Prior to the pandemic, we had started to develop our staff team to improve the support we can offer to survivors of brain injury and their families. We are incredibly grateful to these staff and the volunteer team who have worked so hard to keep things going in such trying times. They have done a great job in developing some on-line groups and preparing for re-opening. It's been great to hear we are finally welcoming you back to our bases at Shrewsbury House and The Mulberry Centre and starting to offer community support once more. We are always thinking about how we can improve the services we offer. We are also keen to hear what you think would be useful. We really welcome your thoughts and feedback about what's working well or not so well and how we can improve. I hope you have a great festive season.
