Connect Group Co-ordinator = Warkworth
Headway’s Connect Groups are monthly 1 hour meet-ups where people living with brain injury can share experiences, support each other, and focus on doing more of what is important to them.
Held on the 1st Tuesday of each month, 10am – 11am at a Warkworth cafe.
We’re looking for friendly, reliable volunteers to help co-ordinate these gatherings. You’ll be the welcoming face of your local group - helping people feel comfortable and connected.
As relationships are important, it is vital that you can commit to one year minimum. As there will be two volunteers, you will be able to support and cover each other on months you cannot be there.
All admin and reminders are handled by the Headway team, so your focus is simply on people and connection.
If you’re someone who enjoys bringing others together and believes in the power of community, we’d love to hear from you.
One hour a month can make a real difference.
