Look Ahead in the North

Look Ahead in the North (LAN) is an annual residential weekend for members of the Headway groups and branches in the North East and Cumbria.

The benefits of the weekend

Brain injury survivors, family members, carers and volunteers enjoy a fun filled weekend at the Calvert Trust in Kielder where they can take part in outdoor activities, arts and crafts, drumming and dance workshops and relax with a treatment from a volunteer therapist.

For a glimpse into the weekend, watch this video from Michael, below, who shares his experiences from attending Look Ahead in the North in 2025.

Sponsorship opportunities

We are only able to fund this weekend through the generosity and hard work of EMG Solicitors who hold their annual WonderLAN ball to raise money for LAN, and the kind sponsorship of local companies, which in 2024 and 2025 included Burnetts Solicitors.
