Headway Services secured in Norfolk and Waveney
Headway Norfolk and Waveney and Headway Suffolk are pleased to announce that services at risk in the region for adults with acquired brain injuries have now been secured. In partnership with Norfolk County Council the two organisations have agreed to transfer the services to Headway Suffolk after Headway Norfolk and Waveney announced its closure in October.
This means that Outreach Support and Day Centres in Kings Lynn, Norwich, Dereham, Long Stratton and Great Yarmouth will stay open and continue in their current locations and jobs have been secured for centre staff.
A Focus on Supporting Clients and Staff during a Difficult Time
The charity’s CEO, Claire Boothby-Barnbrook, explained:
“Our priority has always been trying to secure the best outcome for our clients and staff in a difficult financial situation. We are grateful to our clients for the outpouring of support that we have received and for their championing of a valuable service. We also thank Norfolk County Council and Headway UK for their efforts in helping us find a solution that provides continuity for our clients. We are confident that, in assuming responsibility for our service provision, Headway Suffolk will strengthen and sustain the Headway service across the region, while continuing to share our deep commitment to brain injury survivors and their families.”
What this means for our clients
Clients currently supported by Headway Norfolk and Waveney are being contacted individually with details of the transition.
