I am a solicitor specialising in medical law, meaning that I often represent individuals who have suffered life changing injuries, including brain injuries. 

Headway Leicester and Rutland provide valuable support and rehabilitation services to people who are learning to live with a brain injury. 

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on the service provided by Headway Leicester & Rutland over the past few
weeks. They have put plans into place and are working tirelessly to continue to support their members and are doing everything they can to help mitigate the impact of the Coronavirus on their health and well-being. 

They are providing weekly well-being checks to their 75 service users by telephone, email and Zoom video calls. Many are struggling with the lack of routine, motivation, reduced confidence and the self isolation is dramatically affecting their mental health. 

I would ask that my friends, family and colleagues please donate generously to this cause, so that Headway Leicester and Rutland can continue to provide the incredible support to some of the most vulnerable in society. 

Save the UK's CharitiesGeneral fundraising has been hit very hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of fundraising events have been cancelled and many charities, particularly smaller ones, are struggling to maintain services because of this huge reduction in income.This impacts all sectors of society from children to the elderly as well as the vital work in areas such as palliative care, serious diseases, mental health, housing support, food supplies and countless others that charities support.
