We couldn’t quite make this appreciation event happen during Volunteers’ Week, but better late than never!

After all these years, we finally managed to bring together our wonderful charity shop volunteers to say a huge thank you for everything they do.

A special thank you to Patricia and Allan Aubignac, who have been volunteering at the Headway charity shop since day one, an incredible 29 years of dedication and service. Even more wonderfully, their daughter now supports Shop Manager Jez, continuing the family’s commitment to helping others.

To Patricia, Allan, and every one of our volunteers: words cannot express how grateful we are for your time, energy, kindness, and unwavering support. Headway simply wouldn’t be the same without you.

Thank you for all that you do. 💙

This week is Action for Brain Injury Week 2026.

And what better way to mark it than with a conversation that truly matters.
This week, our Chief Executive Dr Lisa Perkins sat down with Bailiwick Express, Bailiwick Podcasts alongside Headway Jersey member Justine Boreham and Nadia Applegate, founder of CNS Neuro Physio Rehab & Elderly care to talk openly and honestly about brain injury. What it feels like. What the challenges really are. And what support is available right here in Jersey.

The interview was hosted by Emily Moore, and it is worth every minute of your time.

Brain injury can happen at any age. To anyone. It does not always look the way people expect. And far too many people suffer in silence because they do not know where to go or who to ask.

If you or someone you love has been affected by brain injury, please listen.

Share it with your friends, your colleagues, your family. You never know whose life it might reach.

A huge thank you to Emily Moore for hosting such a warm and thoughtful conversation, to Nadia Applegate for the incredible work CNS Neuro Rehab & Elderly Care does alongside us, and to Justine for sharing her experience so openly and generously. It takes courage to speak publicly about something so personal, and we are grateful.

The interview is available now on Bailiwick Podcasts. Find the link below.
Listen. Share. Help someone feel less alone.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week.

At Headway Jersey, we want to take a moment to acknowledge every one of our members.

Living with a brain injury is hard.

The changes it brings, to who you are, how you feel, and how you move through the world, can feel overwhelming.

Mental health struggles after brain injury are real, and they are valid.

But so is your strength.

Every day you show up, that matters. Every small step forward counts. You are not alone in this.

To everyone in our community: we see you. We are here. And we are proud to walk alongside you.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we are taking action.
For our members.
For brain injury awareness.
For better support, every single day.
