Across our network, hundreds of volunteers give their time and skillsets every week- helping keep shops and branches open, welcoming retail customers and members, supporting events and raising vital funds to help people affected by brain injury.
Volunteering at Headway helps people build confidence, reduce isolation, gain experience and feel part of their community.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every volunteer- past and present- for your commitment and generosity to support our work to improve life after brain injury.
Your time really does change lives.
We couldn't do what we do without you!
A personal thank you from our CEO
