Minutes:

John Archer gave a verbal presentation regarding the grant funding application for Headway.

 

Mr Archer advised that Headway was a charity supporting those with brain acquired injuries, together with their carers.  The charity tried to achieve a level of resourcing to provide enhanced support to local group and home-based therapeutic sessions, peer support groups and activity sessions..  The cost to establish this service in North Hertfordshire would be £20,000.  £6,000 had been secured from the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation and £4,000 from the People’s Post Code Lottery.  In order to finance the remaining £10,000, Mr Archer was requesting grant funding of £2,500 from the Committee and would be requesting £3,750 from each of the Hitchin and Letchworth Committees.

 

After a period of questions and answers, the Chairman thanked Mr Archer for his presentation.
