Volunteering

Volunteers are vital to the work of Headway. There are many ways in which you can help us with your time and effort. Below are just a few examples.

Local Groups and Branches

Those working in local Groups and Branches throughout the UK may need your help. It could be a few hours a week giving administrative help, time spent on a telephone information line, helping with activities for those with brain injury, posting leaflets in your area, or organising outings and events. Help may be needed with activities such as art and crafts, hobbies, and computer skills. The possibilities are endless! Please contact your local Group or Branch directly, and they will let you know how you can help.

Headway UK Offices

If you are local to our Headway UK offices in Nottingham, London or Edinburgh, help is often required with administrative duties. This could be inputting data, envelope stuffing, photocopying and filing. Special projects may arise which would benefit from professional help.

Students find Headway an ideal charity to work with on a project, either as part of their studies or for valuable work experience. Retired business men and women can gain satisfaction from knowing that by giving only a few hours a week, they can significantly help a worthwhile cause whilst keeping their skills sharp.

If you would like to help in any way, please contact our Volunteer Co-ordinator.

Tell your story!

If you have a personal story to tell illustrating the devastating impact of brain injury and you are prepared to use it to help the Headway awareness campaign, then contact our Communications Manager.
