Headway East London is a charity that focuses on helping those that have been affected by brain injury. They both offer services to the survivor and their families, as well as help spread greater public awareness. They strive to help those living with brain injury to feel valued and reach their full potential.
Brain injury is one of the 'unseen' disabilities, as the person often remains unchanged in their appearance, but inside they are like a whole new person. Headway helps the individual discover that new person- and find value in the life they live now.
"We provide therapies, advocacy, family support and community support work alongside our day service: a community venue where members can make the most of their abilities and interests. We believe that every one of our members has something to contribute to both Headway East London and the wider community. Our occupational projects include an art studio, writing projects and a professional kitchen where members cook each day for other members, volunteers, staff and visitors.
We also promote awareness and understanding of brain injury by providing information, acting as an educational resource for universities, offering training to professionals and businesses, and running projects engaging our members with the public," (Headway East London 2019).Headway is looking for a public awareness campaign, probably via social media, that brings to life the 'hidden disability,' as well as highlights the services they offer to the individual.
This could be a good match for me. Though I am nowhere near Headway East London I feel like I could offer some input and help edit images that may lean toward the goals of this organization.
Whichever brief I am selected to work on will definitely be a STRETCH of my skills and a JUMP out of my comfort zone!
