🌞 Stay Heat Healthy and Aware 🌞

Hot weather can affect anyone, but older people, young children, and those with long-term health conditions are particularly vulnerable.

💧 Drink plenty of water and avoid excessive alcohol.
🏠 Keep your home cool by closing curtains and windows in sun-facing rooms.
☀️ Avoid direct sunlight between 11am and 3pm, and remember your hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (SPF 30+).
🚶 If you need to be active outdoors, aim for the cooler parts of the day.

Most importantly, check in on older friends, family members, and neighbours—especially those living alone—to make sure they are staying cool, hydrated, and well.

Let's look out for each other and stay safe in the heat. ❤️

💜 Carers Week 2026 💜

Carers are often the unsung heroes of brain injury recovery, well, actually, of society in general!

In Carers Week we wanted to find a way to support you, if we can, so we are hosting our very first Carers Connection Event this evening!

📅 Monday 8th June
⏰ 6.00pm – 7.30pm
📍 Headway House, 4 Hospital Close, Leicester, LE5 4WP

Join us for an evening of conversation, useful information, and a chance to enjoy some relaxing Art Therapy together. Our aim is to bring carers from across the community together (not just those caring for individuals with brain injury), helping to build supportive relationships and positive connections.

If you can't make it tonight, don't worry, we'd still love to hear from you. Get in touch to be added to our carers group mailing list and we'll make sure you're invited to future events.
And there is still time to register for tonight! To book your place or join the group for a later date, please email [email protected]

We look forward to welcoming you. 💜

🌿 Volunteers' Week 🌿

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
— Margaret Mead

Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. From supporting our members, to working in the garden, to helping keep essential operations running behind the scenes, their time and dedication make a real difference every day.

A special thank you to Michael Condon for his invaluable support with our finance and IT systems, and to our student volunteers who will be sharing the benefits of volunteering The University of Leicester Staff Wellbeing Roadshow tomorrow.

💚 Thank you to every one of our volunteers. We couldn't do it without you - there's too many of you to name check, but go on I'll give it a whirl; Brian, Michael, Summer, Aleemah, Harry, Nigel, Helen, Ally, Michael, Enya, Raheema, Saranya, Chaitaanya, Keira, Jagdish, Malcolm, Emily, Helen, Brenda, Emma

Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Headway had a great day at the Rotary Disability Games at Ratcliffe College with The Rotary Club of Leicester – a fantastic celebration of energy, determination, and community spirit. From kurling and boccia to archery, swimming, and wheelchair races, our members give it their all every year 💪

But our inclusive sport doesn’t stop there…

We’re lucky to work alongside some incredible local partners who make sport accessible all year round. From cricket sessions with Leicestershire & Rutland Cricket Foundation, football with Goals Leicester and snooker at 147 Snooker Club, to activities like airgun shooting and archery at Thurlaston and cycling with Leicester Wheels For All – there really is something for everyone.

These opportunities play a vital role in supporting recovery after brain injury – building confidence, independence, and a real sense of belonging.

As ever a huge thank you to all the volunteers, organisers, families, and supporters who make these opportunities possible!
