Today's #MondayMotivation is from Maureen, one of our Independence clients, who has been reflecting on how change can be positive. She went shopping in her first session and said 'Originally I was very sad about Peterborough Hub closing, as for me I’m so used to being at Headway, I hadn’t ever thought about moving on. But now I have Headway in my house! It’s perfect.'
Our Independence Service offers 1:1 rehabilitation support at home and in the community. Call us on 01223 576550 or email info@headway-cambs.org.uk to find out more.
