ART of Community Exhibition
Ros Lewis-Williams, an Art Psychotherapist from an organisation called 'Art in Community', earlier this year facilitated a six-week Art therapy program with several Headway North London (HWNL) members. The result was an amazing piece of collective art that reflects the emotions and creativity of, not only the individuals directly involved, but also HWNL as a whole. We're very excited to announce the piece will be included in the following exhibitions:

Guildhall Art Gallery: December 6th - January 6th
Guildhall Yard, London, EC2P 2EJ

Exhibiting groups include:

• A Faith group (R. C. Priests and Brothers)
• The Harington Scheme (Horticultural training centre for young people with learning/physical difficulties)
• Headway North London (People with brain injury)
• Sotheby Mews (A Day Centre for older people)
• Kentish Town Football Club (a semi- professional Football Club)

City Hall: November 6th - 14th November

Headway North London becomes a Registered Charity
Headway North London (HWNL) is pleased to announce it has achieved official charity status. Until now HWNL has been a branch of Headway - the National Brain Injury Association but was always funded from local sources including the annual membership fee and donations made directly to HWNL. The change of status will not therefore negatively impact the funding of the group but opens new opportunities to apply for funding from outside bodies. With additional funding we hope to expand the range and scope of the services we provide to meet the needs of brain injury survivors across north London.
HWNL continues to be affiliated to the national charity which means we'll be subject to the same standards and requirements we always have been and will continue to work in partnership with Headay National.

SweetTree Home Care Services support Headway North London
Headway North London would like to say a huge thank you to SweetTree Home Care Services who have recently offered HWNL free use of serviced office space for a whole year! This is an enormous support to the work of HWNL which, up to now, has been mostly run out of the homes of our trustees. SweetTree is an organisation based in north London that provide home based care services. SweetTree also provide a brain injury and case management service. We hope this is the start of a long and fruitful relationship between our two organisations.
