Wimbledon Village Fair 2010
Our 4th appearance at the Wimbledon Village Fair, and yet again it was a great success, the total collected this year being £575.00.
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the Tombola stall, those people who collected prizes, those people who stuck on tickets or folded them and, last but not least, those people who came to help on the day.
Everyone had a fantastic day, the fair was bigger than ever this year and we had a great pitch, right outside the entrance to one of the big marquees. Our Headway banner clearly told the public who we were and we had a number of enquiries about our support groups from both health professionals and people who had a brain injury.
- Our new Gazebo was as easy as pie to put up
- The ever threatening clouds didn’t deposit their rain and none of us got soaked!
- We handed out lots of leaflets and spoke to lots of people raising our profile with the local community,
- Trustees, Volunteers, Members, friends and family all had a lot of fun and had a chance to get to know each other better.
- All the lucky winners took away some brilliant prizes and interesting books and we have raised £575.00 towards our costs for the next year.

Richmond to Windsor Cycle for Headway
They say it never rains but it pours……..
As most of you will know, we chose the website “Just Giving” to be the vehicle through which people could sponsor members of Headway South West London on the recent 10 Bridges walk, and very successful they were too, as you will read in another post on this site.
You can imagine our surprise when we found that someone else had chosen Headway South West London as their designated charity. Andy Mathias wrote
“On Sunday 20th June I will be participating in a Charity ride from Richmond to Windsor, following a course of 50 miles. The course will be starting at Old Deer Park in Richmond, going through Twickenham and Weybridge, finishing in Windsor (hopefully with a pint and some food!) later.
I have chosen to collect sponsorship for Headway South West London who are a prominant brain injury charity.”
We can’t show you a photo of Andy, but here is his bike! Andy completed the ride, and we hope had his pint and food in Windsor and raised £515.00 for us.
Well done Andy, and a very big thank you.
