Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors’ Personal Injury team has been actively giving back to the local community by supporting Headway Milton Keynes with their weekly Cognitive, Education, and Lifestyle sessions. Headway is a UK-wide charity dedicated to improving life after brain injury by providing essential support and information services.

These sessions are designed to help individuals develop confidence, enhance communication skills, and receive peer support while sharing their experiences and improving their interpersonal skills. Conducted in a fun and supportive group environment, the sessions are facilitated by a member of staff and supported by volunteers.

Ariana Kirton-Mogort from Geoffrey Leaver’s Personal Injury team comments, “Headway is an incredible service that provides invaluable resources for its users. Assisting at these sessions ensures we gain a deeper understanding of how head injuries impact individuals and how best to support our clients.”

Brain injuries can significantly impact day-to-day tasks, leisure activities, work or education, and cause changes in behaviour and personality. To support individuals who have suffered a brain injury, Headway has created a group support programme focusing a variety of topics each week, such as Simple Living and Home Management, Mental Health Awareness, Planning and Problem Solving, and Healthy Hub. They aim to improve cognitive skills, language and numeracy abilities, planning skills, budgeting, and fatigue management.

Navdip Gill, Partner and accredited Headway Solicitor, adds, “Headway provides an invaluable service to anyone who has sustained a head injury, and I am tremendously proud of the commitment demonstrated by Samantha and Ariana.”

Keri Whelan of Headway MK comments, “The support, advice, and communication we receive from the Geoffrey Leaver team are nothing short of fantastic. We are always kept up-to-date with any adjustments to the volunteer rota, and each volunteer does everything possible to support our clients, whether it is with reading and writing or giving advice. The clients always look forward to having Geoffrey Leaver’s team in the sessions. It has been a lifeline for us.”
