‘Contact ’ Volunteers at Headway

We are very fortunate to have a regular influx of University students offering help as volunteers through the ‘Contact’ scheme. All the students feel they get a lot out of giving their time and Melanie was persuaded into writing this article:

I’m a final year Psychology student and am particularly interested in Neuropsychology. I went to the ‘Contact’ office at the University and they put me in touch with Headway to extend this interest.

I felt a little nervous as I didn’t know what to expect but as soon as I got speak-ing to the members and staff, who were really friendly and welcoming, I felt totally at ease. I would definitely encourage others to volunteer at Headway as the people there are great and you get to have a chat whilst getting involved with all the activities that go on there.
