At Headway Black Country, Volunteers Week is a special opportunity to recognise and celebrate the incredible people who give their time, compassion and skills to support people affected by brain injury.
Every conversation, activity, event and moment of support delivered by our volunteers helps improve the lives of individuals and families across the Black Country. Our volunteers are not simply helpers, they are listeners, encouragers, fundraisers, advocates and valued members of the Headway Black Country family.
Whether supporting rehabilitation activities, helping at community events, assisting with fundraising or simply being there for someone who needs support, volunteers help us reach more people and create a stronger, more connected community.
