New Chairman Designate required for Headway Aylesbury Vale
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is a much under reported/supported condition which has devastating
effects on both the survivors and their families
Headway Aylesbury Vale is an independent local charity affiliated to Headway UK with the mission to
provide services that will form one of the stepping stones of choice for all people affected by Acquired
Brain Injury in the local area, as part of their pathway towards regaining their greatest possible
independence.
The Charity has recently moved to purpose built facilities and has the potential to really expand both
the client base and the range of services and has created a strategic plan for this purpose.
While the current trustees have a broad range of appropriate skills we have urgent need of an
experienced Chairman to drive its delivery as the current incumbent cannot continue beyond October
2105.
