Published 9th July 2013
Headway Cardiff provides vital support and services to the ever increasing number of people in Wales affected by acquired brain injury.
Nia Morgan, Volunteer Coordinator was delighted with the news “It’s a well-deserved pat on the back for the volunteers who have given thousands of hours of their time to help survivors of acquired brain injury and their families”
Headway Cardiff is one of only 58 organisations in Wales to have been awarded Investing in Volunteers status since the quality standard was launched in 2005. They were assessed against a range of best practice standards and proved to excel in all aspects of working with its volunteers.
Julie Smith, the General Manager of Headway Cardiff feels that it has helped them focus on improving the quality and quantity of opportunities available to volunteers from a wide range of backgrounds. ‘What I have come to realise is the more time you invest in volunteers, the more you get back. Survivors of major trauma benefit hugely from the one to one attention that having a great team of volunteers enables us to provide.’
