Headway 10k back on the road again with support from Jacksons

Entries for this year’s Headway 10k are now open and the team at Jacksons are raring to support it once again.

The race gets back on the road on Sunday 26^th June, starting and finishing on Les Quennevais cycle track.

It’s the fourth time the motor dealership has sponsored this popular race on the local sporting calendar.

Thanks to their support, there are trophies and cash prizes up for grabs for the fastest man, woman and teams, and all those taking part in the 10k race will receive a performance tee-shirt and bespoke meal, with a medal for all children taking part in the 3k kids fun run.

Commenting on the continued sponsorship, Andrew Searle, General Manager of Jacksons CI said, “We’re delighted to be sponsoring the Headway 10k again this year, it’s a fantastic race out west and a great way to support this fantastic local charity which provides essential services including a range of physical and cognitive rehabilitation programmes for islanders living with brain injuries.

Our team hope it will help raise vital funds so that the charity can continue to provide these services.”

The charity has over 150 survivors of brain injury registered with them as members and up to 70 who access their services on a weekly basis.

Bryce Alford, Fundraising and Events Manager at Headway Jersey said, “We are really grateful to Jacksons for their continued support during this our 25^th year and to all those who sign up to race on 26^th June who will be helping Headway to raise funds so we can continue to provide essential support, information and services to people in Jersey who are affected by brain injury.”

About Headway Jersey

It costs Headway £350k a year to provide all services.

Headway Jersey has grown from very small beginnings in 1997 and awareness of the work the charity does for those who are affected by brain injuries has increased greatly over this time.

The Headway Centre is now seeing an increase in the number of referrals and the charity currently has over 150 survivors of brain injury registered with them as members.

Some members require occasional support, however up to 70 members access Headway’s services on the weekly basis. These services are an essential lifeline for members and also provide support and respite for families and carers who need it most and include neuro-physiotherapy, exercise and swimming therapy, arts and crafts and advocacy amongst many others.
