Thank you to all our volunteers and everyone who has recently donated to Headway Hertfordshire.

HEADLINES Winter 2014 Congratulations to Kerry Kirby who was nominated for the Headway Annual Awards 2013 which celebrates outstanding contribution to Headway and survivors of brain injury. Kerry s case manager nominated her in recognition of her achievements over the last three years. During this time she has moved away from her parents home and has become increasingly independent with the support of her carers and she also travels regularly on her own. She attends the Watford Reconnect group and also volunteers at a local farm.

3 Fundraising News Welcome Fundraising Event at Mill Green Golf Club Peter Holgate, one of our Headway clients who attends the Watford Habit Group, brought a cheque to Headway in October, with money raised from a fundraising event at the Mill Green Golf Club, near Welwyn Garden City. Peter, who is a member of the Golf Club, informed us that the event was organised by his friend, Chris Myers, Captain of the SOS Golf Society there. Although the Golf Club's main Charity for the year is the Herts Air Ambulance, it was decided to do a separate fundraising event for Headway Hertfordshire and the Help for Heroes charities. Teams of four people entered the event and all together there were approximately 100 people who took part. It was a mixed competition and covered 18 holes of golf and each team added up their collective scores. After the event, the participants enjoyed a social gathering, with food and a raffle. Peter spoke on Headway's behalf to give thanks to all those who took part. The money will go towards rehab equipment for the Habit and Reconnect Groups in Watford. Welcome to our winter edition of the newsletter. I would like to thank Phil Good for winning the Name Our Magazine competition, with the winning name of Headlines, which will now be used on all our newsletters. We can offer you two new factsheets: Prosopagnosia: face blindness after brain injury and Making a complaint about health and social care services. If you would like a factsheet or to talk to use about these issues please enquiries@headway-herts.org.uk or call: Headway HealthUnlocked community, is an online forum dedicated to brain injury. Participants share valuable knowledge, experience and support. Visit: and have your say. As always, I am very keen to hear from clients and carers so if you would like to tell your story or have your say about our services, please do contact me. Karyn Jones, Chief Executive 10 3
4 Access to Work Scheme A Client s Story At Headway we do everything we can to help clients back into employment following a brain injury and we understand that it can be a difficult road to take. There are several avenues of help available and one of these is the Access to Work scheme. It is designed to help overcome the barriers disabled people face when getting and staying in work. The Access to Work scheme has set aside 2 million to help disabled people take up their placements. The scheme provides practical advice and gives grants towards extra employment costs from your disability, including the following: The story doesn t end there. As he crossed the finishing line, Chris proposed to his partner who has given him so much support throughout his amazing recovery. They plan to get married in January So congratulations and a great big thank you to Chris from everyone at Headway Hertfordshire. Special Aids or equipment Help with travel cost to work if public transport cannot be used because you are disabled i.e. use of a taxi. Adapting to existing premises (not new) and existing equipment. A support worker to provide help in the work place and for support in job interviews. An interpreter or lip reader when you need to be meeting or communicating with others. (From left to right Chris and Raymond ) 4 9
5 A Client s Story Access to Work Scheme Half Marathon run for Headway Chris, a volunteer with the Watford Reconnect group, completed the Luton half marathon in October, the first one he s ever done, and raised almost 1000 for Headway. What makes this story even more incredible is that Chris did this only six months after sustaining a severe brain injury from an unprovoked assault. He was in a coma for 10 days and had to undergo a craniectomy in May His last surgery was in July and at that point Chris decided to set himself a goal to run the half-marathon in October. Chris s partner helped and supported him all the way through his recovery and by October he was indeed ready to take his place on the start line for the Love Luton Half Marathon with his friend, Raymond Logue, who helped him get through the race and with all the fundraising. Chris raised almost 1000, half of which is going to Headway UK and the other half has been donated directly to Headway Hertfordshire. Who can get help? You may be eligible if you have a disability and are employed, self-employed or unemployed and have a job to start. It also covers those who have impairments and health conditions that are only apparent in the work place. Traditionally Access to Work mainly helped people with sensory or physical impairments but it is increasingly becoming available for people with mental health conditions and those who have memory issues. If you feel you may qualify for help from the Access to Work scheme, you can call to make an application or alternatively we will make the call on your behalf and help you in any way we can.
