Participants and staff enjoying themselves at our Carers "Because You're Worth It!" Day at Airfield on Saturday, 6th June 2009

Even though the weather was not on our side on Saturday, we had a great day with 12 family members of people with an ABI. This was a joint Headway & BRI event for National Carers Week.

Many thanks to our wonderful facilitators: Clarissa, Eimear and Judith who helped us to learn origami and massage, and to have a good sing song, while sharing stories and getting to know each other a bit better. Thanks also to all the carers who came, and to Gillian from BRI, and Ruth and Ciaran from Headway for making the day such a great success.

We are planning a new once-a-month "Drop In" for family members here in Manor St, and a short 4-week group to start soon. Anyone interested should call Ciaran Nolan on 01 810 2098 or email him at: nolanc@headway.ie.
