We would like to thank the Bishop Stamer Fund, the Clothworkers Foundation and the Douglas Arter Foundation who have donated so that Headway North Staffs can update its fire alarm system – keeping our clients and our building safe.

Many of our clients have problems with their speech. This has a huge impact on people as it cuts them off from the world and they have to work hard to relearn skills taken from them by an ABI.

Thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund’ss grant we  are able to provide speech therapy at our centre in Cobridge.

Counselling is a much valued service by our clients. Giving them a safe space to explore their emotions when faced by a life changing event. A grant from the Edward Gostling Foundation means that we can continue to provide counselling.

For many of our clients relearning how to cook is vital. They can have mobility, dexterity or cognative difficulties that making this everyday task seemingly impossible. Thanks to the Sainsbury’s Helping Everyone Eat Better Community Grant Fund 2023-24 we are going to be able to give clients lessons on how to use a slow cooker to prepare healthy and tasty meals. Giving them back their independence.

Sport England has funded physical activities that can our clients can engage in. Walking, swiming and bicycling sesions using local facilities and suported by our staf and special equipment will mean our clients can get out and about and get healthy.

You can see from the pictures on the right how successful this project has been in allowing our clients to engage in healthy and fun sporting activities.

Thank you Sport England.
