Fundraising Clandon Regis Chips in with Support Everyone was delighted recently to hear that the members of Clandon Regis Golf Club, on the outskirts of Guildford, have nominated Headway Surrey as their Captains’ Charity of the Year. A whole series of events and functions have been arranged at the Club over the next 12 months in support of our work. Club Captains John Fitzpatrick and Gill Beaton decided to support Headway Surrey as a result of John’s contact with us in the course of building the new Headway House. John is managing the building project on behalf of Croudace CHP. As a result he has had a great deal of contact with our members over the past 18 months. Knowing the work we do, he was enthusiastic about nominating Headway Surrey and Ladies Captain, Gill, was more than happy to support the nomination. “Yet again,” commented Oliver McGeachy, Headway Surrey’s Chief Executive, “we have an example of a leading community organisation voluntarily throwing its support behind our work. John and Gill’s nomination could not have come at a better time – when we are planning the furnishing and equipment for the new Headway House. “This is an important and significant gesture on the part of Clandon Regis Golf Club and it will be highly appreciated by our members.” Clandon Regis Golf Club Website
We have seven places for runners in the 2010 Marathon. We currently have six wonderful runners so far and have one place to fill, for anyone who would like to represent Headway Surrey please contact Joy Harding for further information. Our four amazing runners completed the 2009 London Marathon on an extremely hot day! They all enjoyed the day but found it tough due to the weather conditions. Everyone at Headway Surrey thank the runners for all their dedication, training and time they have given to Headway Surrey. They have managed to raise an amazing amount of sponsorship in a very difficult climate - we send our thanks to everyone that has donated to our runners. These donations really help to boost our fundraising and enable us to continue to support many people across Surrey affected by Head Injury and enable us to offer a wide range of services for families and carers
We need to raise funds on a ongoing basis in order to continue our work. Our Costs HEADWAY Surrey is run on a tight budget and all cost are kept to a minimum. Consequently every penny which is raised for HEADWAY Surrey goes towards fulfilling our aims - providing services for and supporting people who have sustained head injuries, their families and carers.
