Charity receives a boost from Severn Trent Community Fund

Gloucestershire

Headway Gloucestershire is a local charity dedicated to improving life after brain injury.
We provide essential services across Gloucestershire for people with acquired brain injuries, their partners, families, friends and carers.

 

 

 

Around 100 people each week use either our Enablement Centre in Gloucester, our Community Links Service or our social support groups.
Julie Reader-Sullivan, CEO of Headway Gloucestershire said: “This is such an amazing opportunity, to have received support from Severn Trent Community Fund Core Funding. This will make a massive difference to the people we work with and to our small staff team, volunteers and trustees.”

 

The new funding from the Severn Trent Community Fund, which awards grant money to support three elements of community wellbeing - people, places and environment, means Headway Gloucestershire can deliver more support across our large County.
We will be able to press on with plans to introduce opportunities to visit and provide support in Community Hub locations across Gloucestershire which will help people with an acquired brain injury and their families to receive the support they need.

 

 

Christopher Johnson, a Trustee with Headway Gloucestershire, says: “We’re delighted that the Severn Trent Community Fund has recognised our work in this way. We’re thankful for the funding so that we’ll be able support people living with an acquired brain injury and their families. This is important because it helps both the individual and their families to build relationships with others facing similar challenges and to create their own supportive circles of friends and peers.”

Jade Gough, Severn Trent Community Fund Officer, said: “At the end of last year we temporarily re-focused our Community Fund to offer much needed core funding support for organisations supporting our communities that need a helping hand. Through that we’re really pleased to have been able to support Headway Gloucestershire and all the incredible work they do, helping to make sure they can continue to be there for people with an acquired brain injury and their families, and reach and support more people all across the county.”
