Volunteering Stories

Sally's Story

I began volunteering at Headway Nottingham whilst studying for a Psychology and Sociology degree at Nottingham Trent University. I knew I wanted to work in a caring environment on graduation, but was unsure what exactly I wanted to do. I applied to volunteer at Headway mostly to up my experience and understanding of the care sector but got much more from it than just the experience.Read more

Volunteer with us

What could you do with three hours? Watch three episodes of the latest must-see series. Go out for a meal. Interact on social media. All very enjoyable to do, but will any of those positively impact your local community and simultaneously enhance your sense of self-worth? Volunteering with Headway Nottingham will, and three hours a week is all we need from you.

Ette's Story

In January 2011 I suffered a TIA which affected the right hand side of my face. Although doctors didn’t think this would happen again, in June 2011 I suffered a stroke.

Referrals

At Headway Nottingham we accept referrals from all sources, be that a self referral to a referral from a professional health or social care worker. Once the referral is made we will make contact with the individual or their carer and work with them to formulate a suitable plan of progression.
