Headway East London Q2 2009For information on what Headway East London do, please click here: Headway (East London) As agreed with Headway East London at the end of last year, money from OPS has continued to go towards the funding of day-to-day activities and outings. These are the types of small events which Headway East London can struggle to fund through their large donors but which remain essential to giving their attendees new experiences and social interactions which they would struggle to achieve independently. In the last quarter, money from OPS has gone towards:  Transport to outings, in particular taxis to Southwark Sailing Centre for 5 members to participate in a sailing activity. This is now happening on a fortnightly basis.Myself and Ms Anna Ray are heading down to the centre in a couple of weeks to do some breadmaking with some of the attendees! I have visions of an all out food fight with flour bombs flying around the centre, but either way we will report back next quarter.
Until next time, I hope you all have a great summer. John Arnold - August 2009

I'd also like to thank David Croshaw who has been our representative at Headway East London for the last year. David combined his twin talents of drumming and gardening to help out there on a regular basis but the experience also seemed pretty beneficial to him. He is now moving to Leeds to study Music at the uni there, with the aim of eventually doing music therapy and his experience at Headway was one thing which demonstrated to him the effect music can have in the rehabilitation of people who have suffered serious injuries and disabilities. Thanks David for all your effort there.
