Official Statement New Year Lockdown 06.01.21
Headway Leicester has followed the advice and guidance from local authorities and has had to take the difficult decision to close its day centre, for now.
As high rates of infection continue to rise across the country, we have all, once again, been asked to stay at home.
We understand how terribly difficult this is for for many of our members and their families, but we want to reassure you that we are still #HereForYou during these difficult times.
Our digital support will continue and we are now offering 12 sessions per week.
All our current services are listed below.
Please stay safe and do not hesitate to contact us with any worries you may have.
If you need help for a mental health crisis, emergency or breakdown, you should get immediate expert advice and assessment.
It’s important to know that support is available, even if services seem busy at the moment because of coronavirus.
