The charity operates on a local and national basis, providing a number of services, including rehabilitation programmes, carer support and community outreach.\u00a0 With Headway\u2019s help and support from relatives and friends, our \u2018Soropti-mister\u2019 is making good steady progress and has recently started driving again, as well as playing table-tennis, which is giving him more confidence and independence<\/p>\n<p>With sufficient funding, Headway Sefton is able to arrange many activities and, where possible, regular away-days. Unfortunately, they do not receive any government funding and rely on charitable donations to provide the wonderful support they give to many people who have gone through the same experience as we have heard about.<br \/>\nOur member is an amazing ambassador for Headway Sefton. She referred us to their website, <a href=\"http:\/\/headwaysefton.com\/\">http:\/\/headwaysefton.com\/<\/a>, which shows the many facets of support and lots more information \u2013 and how we can support this little-known but vital charity.
