Thank you for stopping by!

For the London Marathon, I am supporting Headway East Northants for my charity organization.

Headway East Northants is a charitable organization based in Irthlingborough, East Northamptonshire. We provide support and services to survivors of brain injury, and also their family members and careers.

Our service reflects our clients - we are a person-centered and understands the complexities of ‘the hidden disability’ and the problems that may arise with cognition, memory, communication and concentration. Each client is individually assessed so that we can develop an individual learning plan to enhance and enrich a client’s life to be the very best it can be.

We provide information, signposting and both practical and emotional support services for people with Acquired Brain Injury (‘ABI’), their families and careers.
