Hats 4 Headway 2018
Wednesday, May 02, 2018
Hats for Headway is great way to raise awareness of the work Headway Shropshire does in our annual celebration.
The idea is very simple, all we ask you to do is wear a hat on 18th May to show your support. We would encourage you to wear a hat that is crazy and bizarre but this is not compulsory, we just want you to have fun.
Ask all your colleagues, friends and family to wear a hat for the day to raise awareness and donate £1 to Headway Shropshire

Why not have a royal theme with the Wedding of Harry and Megan being on the following day
It would be great if you can share your phots on social media to show your support for the work our team does.

Festival Week at Headway Shropshire
Friday, August 11, 2017
Our staff in the Rehabilitation Centre have spent the last week planning and creating a Summer Festival in the centre. Many of our clients were unfortunately unable to attend our Summer Fair which took place in the evening, so we bought the festival to the clients.
Everyday there were different activities for the clients to get involved with including a Daily Raffle with prizes donated by our supporters. There was also a Name the Dog and Guess the Number of Sweets in the jar completion running all week.
Clients enjoyed getting dressed up with our Photo Booth Props as you can see from the photo below.
Sarah MacBeth our Rehabilition Centre Manager was really pleased with how the event went "It was lovely to see everyone getting involved and we had lots of fun".
Support staff were adding a touch of sparkle all week by offering Glitter Art and Temporary Tattoos. We had lots of handmade and donated items on a stall for clients to buy throughout the week and it was a lovely way to raise some money for the Rehabilitation Centre.

Will I need any equipment?
A
full kit list will be sent out once teams/individuals have registered. Sleeping
bags, rucksacks and camping mats are required. All safety equipment including
helmets, harnesses and wet suits are provided.
I have to drop out of the challenge/I have
not fund-raised the pledged amount.
If
you have to drop out or have not raised the pledged amount before the day of
the event you will be require to complete a payment that covers the expenses
the charity has paid for your spot.
Why do I have to pledge to fund-raise?
One
place costs us approximately £130 per participant, making the rest of the
pledge pure donations for our local charity. The money you fund-raise will not
only help us in our mission to improve life after brain injury, but it can also
help you get better quality food, sleep or other perks during your challenge.
The highest fundraiser or group will benefit of these perks, so it’s in your
own interest to increase your fundraising efforts!
Can I not pay the entire cost of the
ticket?
Unfortunately
running charitable activities means that we need further funding to ensure the
people affected by brain injury receive the services we provide. Your
fundraising is what will help us achieve our charitable goals and we cannot
accept just the full cost of the ticket.
What happens if I do not
fund-raise the pledged amount?
You
will be given fundraising support from our Headway all the way through, to
ensure that doesn’t happen. If for some reason the target is not achieved, we
will be in touch with you. We reserve the right to offer your space to another
participant.
How will I pay?
Your
initial payment of £30 will be via bank transfer or via cheque. The details can
be found on the Registration form.
