Brain injury charity benefits from Baldock grant

Headway Hertfordshire has been awarded £1,500*, after applying for £750, following a meeting of the Baldock Committee on 20 March.

Headway Hertfordshire offers care, support and education/information to those over 18 affected by an acquired brain injury. They support more than 200 residents in North Herts, of which approximately 30% are in Baldock and the surrounding area. The money will go towards running peer support group sessions, helping to cover the cost of hall hire, staff and activities. 

John Archer, CEO of Headway Hertfordshire, said: "This is an amazing result and I am so grateful to the committee for offering additional funds.

"I can promise we will make really good use of this grant to run our local groups and make sure all our clients see progress towards their aims and aspirations as they start to recover after their brain injury."

As reported by Nub News previously, Headway are a wonderful local charity staffed with a great team of passionate people and deserve all the support they can get.
