Steven’s ‘John West Great North Swim 2021’

Stephen will be completing the Great North Swim 2021 in Windermere on June 11th in aid of Headway Preston & Chorley.

“This charity is very close to my families heart after my cousin was involved in a major accident which resulted in him being in a coma for several weeks, thankfully pulling through. Since then my Auntie Liz works tirelessly with her team at the Preston & Chorley charity to raise as much money as they can whilst supporting individual and families affected by acquired brain injury and major traumas”

Headway Central Lancashire?

Here at Headway Preston and Chorley, we are contemplating a name change to one which would better encompass the areas we cover. We would like to invite any of our clients or interested parties to give their thoughts via the following survey.

Tippings Christmas Lights raises £26,188.67

Tippings Christmas lights have been raising money for charity for the past 9 years and in that time Mark and Nicola Tipping have raised £107,596.67.

3 years ago they included Headway Preston and Chorley as one of their chosen charities alongside Rosamere Cancer Foundation, Derian House and Jordan Grant 18 Memorial Fund (Cardiac Risk in the Young).

Liz Bamber, manager of Headway in Preston said, Mark and Nicola are my neighbours, and when they learned about our charity, they didn’t hesitate to support us. We are enormously grateful to them and all who help to construct and dismantle the lights each year. The amount raised this year is staggering and will be split between the four local charities. Thank you to everyone who has donated.

December News

Hello! from Headway Preston and Chorley. How are you?                                                          

Well, this year has been a different year for all of us. We have not been able to meet since February and we have all missed the community sessions.   

We have found new ways of working and helping new and existing clients to ensure they are  supported. Some people have sadly suffered ill health, some bereavement and mentioned the loneliness caused by lockdown is affecting their mental health.                                        

Please remember this cannot go on forever and as soon as we can, we will resume meetings. In the meantime we are at the end of a phone or video call and can help remotely in a number of ways see attached news bulletin.

If you would like to receive information about our services by post please contact us: services@headwaycentrallancashire.org.uk.
