BRILLIANT BURPHAM Headway Surrey folk descended on Burpham, Guildford, for the week-end recently, to run a collection event at the Sainsbury's supermarket. funny hats, "hi viz" jackets and big blue collecting buckets were the order of the day for our members and staff - and their efforts were handsomely rewarded. Sainsbury's customers donated a whopping £691. Everyone had great fun and it gave us the opportunity to make a huge number of people aware of everything we do. The members, volunteers and staff who joined in were Sarah, Frazer, Clem, Ray, Roger, Keith, John, Sue, Jo-Ann, Hayley, Lee and Oliver. Headway Surrey has been chosen by the staff at Sainsbury's, Burpham, as their charity for the year. We will be working with them over the next 12 months not only to raise funds, but to increase public awareness of the issues faced by people affected by brain injury. Sainsbury's staff had their own fundraising event recently when nearly 60 of them took part in a Quiz Night at the store. Headway Surrey staff, Hayley, Lee and Oliver, joined one of the teams - but we don't need to dwell on their performance. They came last!! The next fundraising week - end at Burpham is in the diary for Saturday and Sunday, November 26 and 27. If you are interested in helping on the day contact Hayley on 01483 455225 or email enquiries@headwaysurrey.org |

Rotary Sponsored 10K Walk

Our Team Leader Sprout lead his team on the walk!

The Rotary Club sponsored walk on the 8th May 2011 was great fun! It was well organised, the weather dry and warm, a perfect day for a ramble. All ages took part with lots of dogs! It was a pleasure to see parts of Guildford that you wouldn't normally see! An enjoyable day for everyone.
We are especially proud of Carolyn who jogged with her husband and raised £60. Carolyn is a frequent user of our free Drop-in centre on Friday's, which is open to all who are affected by brain injury. Carolyn finds that if she moves fast it helps her with bad balance which is due to her brain injury. Well Done Carolyn!!
