West Suffolk Headway is a rehabilitative support service for people with an acquired brain injury and those who care for them. The charity offers advice, support, rehabilitation and day services to anyone (over the age of 16) who has, during their lifetime, suffered a brain injury through traumatic accident, stroke, virus, tumour or other similar event. Based in Bury St Edmunds, its service supports people across the regions of west Suffolk and south Norfolk. Annually, an estimated 135,000 people are admitted to hospital as a consequence of a brain injury. The effects of the condition are often devastating and can include physical disability, memory loss, speech problems and rapid mood changes. Working to a bespoke care plan and within a rehabilitative framework, members are supported in individual and group-based activities specifically designed to help relearn skills that may have been lost as a result of the injury. Some will return to work, either paid or voluntary. Others may access further education. For most, increasing their daily independence and improvement of life will be their goal. Each year the charity is tasked with raising £30,000 through essential fundraising and the generosity of public donations to ensure the continuation of the service. Therefore, the importance of support given by each and every individual can never be underestimated.

Dreams really can come true. But for some people, it definitely means so much more. Dreams for children is a new charity that makes the wishes of children fighting life-threatening illness in Merseyside happen. We do this by working hard to raise money in order to see dreams come to life, creating the most special days for the most special people and ensuring that they have amazing experiences that help ease suffering. We also support families coping with the serious illness of a child through our support network. The charity was set up in memory of Catherine Strickland, who passed away in July 2013 aged just 12. Catherine died from a rare bone cancer called osteosarcoma, after fighting bravely for 2 years. Before she passed away, her family rallied around to make her remaining time as special as possible, where Dreams for Children co-founder Emma Strickland – Catherine’s aunt – was instrumental in arranging several special days for her most special of nieces. Our aim is to make sure as many other children as possible also have the chance to see their wishes become a reality because, as everyone knows, the best dreams are the ones that come true.
