Often under difficult circumstances, the dedicated and hard-working staff at Headway provide invaluable support for those who have suffered the consequences of brain injury. Over the last six years or so, I have spent a day each week, sometimes more, as a volunteer. It has been a privilege to help, in a small way, with this fascinating but challenging work. Volunteering provides interest, learning, companionship, and enjoyment. Being able to help as clients recover and develop is very rewarding. Volunteering also provides this elderly retiree with some satisfaction in being able still to do something useful.
