Gallagher Re 2021 Speed Project 3.0 - Marine & Energy Team
Sophie Dudley is raising money for Gallagher Re Foundation
Story
Starting from 26th June through to the 30th July, Gallagher Re are taking part in an event called The Speed Project. Where the whole company is getting involved in either walking, running, cycling or rowing the whole 40,000km which is the equivalent of circumnavigating the Earth.
Our team have chosen to support Headway East London and we hope to make a real difference to this amazing charity.
Headway East London is a charity supporting people affected by brain injury. Working across 13 London boroughs they offer specialist support and services for over 200 survivors, family, friends and carers in the local area each week.
There are many different causes of brain injury and its effects are complex and wide ranging. The services are designed to suit each individual’s circumstances, needs and aspirations.
Headway provides therapies, advocacy, family support and community support work alongside their day service: a community venue where members can make the most of their abilities and interests. Headway believe that every one of their members has something to contribute to both Headway East London and the wider community. Their occupational projects include an art studio, writing projects and a professional kitchen where members cook each day for other members, volunteers, staff and visitors.
The charity also promote awareness and understanding of brain injury by providing information, acting as an educational resource for universities, offering training to professionals and businesses, and running projects engaging their members with the public.
The HEADWAY MISSION is to support people affected by brain injury
The HEADWAY VISION is building a society where people with brain injury are valued, respected and able to fulfil their potential to lead full, active lives
