Drop In

On a weekly basis Headway Surrey is now running a friendly, free-of-charge, “Drop-In” facility in Guildford.  We also hold a monthly information & support service based in Chertsey.

Why Drop In?  “We were acutely aware, “commented Chief Executive Oliver McGeachy, “that a lot of the people we support, their families and carers, feel socially excluded because of their disability.

“The average person in the street often completely fails to notice the disabilities faced by someone with a head injury, when they first meet. Unfortunately the individual’s disabilities, such as loss of memory, mean that the simplest tasks in life can be the most problematic.  This can make sustaining a social life a very difficult business indeed

“The Drop-In' is not, in any way, intended to replace the formal services which we run at our Centre throughout the rest of the week.

The Drop-In  and information & support service are not restricted to existing members. Anyone who has used the centre in the past or who is currently trying to deal with a head injury, including families and carers, are welcome to come along.

 White Lodge Centre.  We will be holding an Information and Support Service  (quarterly between 11am & 2pm).  The dates for 2010 are:

Friday  5th February  2010

Wednesday 12th May  2010

Friday  17th September  2010

Wednesday 1st December 2010

This service is open to anyone affected by head injury.  The dates for 2011 will be added to this page as soon as they are finalised.
