Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Page :-).

This year I will be running the London Marathon in aid of Headway Swindon.

Please read more information about this great charity below.

Headway Swindon is a centre based charity providing a range of activities that assist adults with a brain injury to reach their full potential and progress towards independent living. Headway provides a safe, relaxed environment that welcomes people living in Swindon and surrounding areas, and is open Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm.

Our staff take care to understand the needs of each individual, and to draw up a personal development plan so that our members can set achievable goals and monitor their progress. We use Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy to help people to relearn skills that have been affected as a result of damage to the brain.

At Headway Swindon, people with brain injuries come first and are valued and respected. We are committed to helping each and every one reach their full potential so that they can be themselves, live as independent lives as possible and enjoy life in their local community. We believe that all brain injuries matter - no injury is too slight to ignore or too severe to lose hope. Everyone recovers at their own pace and for some people, it can take many years for the brain to repair and develop.

The money raised will help towards core costs as it currently costs £360,000 per year to run the Headway Swindon rehabilitation centre and it is the aid of generous donations, just like yours, that ensures we can continue to offer help and support to brain injury survivors, their families and carers.

Thank you for your support!
