Headway is a charity which provides support to people who have suffered a brain injury and their carers. It is one of the local charities which SI Gosport, Fareham and district elected to support this year, so four members of the club went to see what exactly it does. We spent a most enjoyable morning chatting with the group over coffee, shown in the pictures below. Some had been injured in road accidents, others had had strokes or other medical problems. What was very clear to us was that they found it really helpful to talk to each other about ways of coping with their disabilities and to share experiences.
What we perhaps hadn’t expected was the amount of fun they had and their enjoyment of shared activities. It was a really inspiring visit: one lady had abseiled down Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower the previous week to raise funds for the group. This exemplified the can-do attitude of its members.
We were all left with the feeling that this is a charity we are proud to support.
