Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Dave had a brain haemorrhage in October 2013 and was treated at Hurstwood Park Neurological Centre at Haywards Heath. Thanks to the wonderful people there he has made a full recovery. During his stay and on discharge we became aware of the support services and aftercare guides provided by Headway. Whilst Dave has thankfully not required direct after care support, the advice available from Headway helped us both understand what had happened to him and what we needed to do to ensure his recovery continued. This is all charity based and is invaluable to people already shocked and possibly confused by what has happened. For people less fortunate there are counselling and theraputic services to help them recover. 


About the charity

We support those affected by brain injury in East Sussex. This can be natural causes such as a stroke or an accident. We offer emotional reassurance, rehabilitation and respite both at our Newick centre and in the community. This includes family and friends as well as the individual.
