Dear Member
Re: Extraordinary General Meeting – Monday 29th April 2024
In accordance with the Headway Northampton Constitution, Notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) has been sent out to all members, and advertised in the local and social media.
A copy of the agenda is attached giving further details.
Headway Northampton has been in its current premises for 15 years, which are leased from a supportive Landlord, who has worked closely with us to continue to provide a service for Brain Injured adults in Northampton.
Unfortunately, this lease is coming to an end and the cost of the premises cannot be sustained for the future. This means that Headway Northampton will be leaving its current premises in September 2024 and we are looking for your support to find a new home.
This is an Extraordinary General Meeting to discuss the future of the Charity which is currently at risk. There are several factors contributing to this including the current financial climate. We are looking for as many of our members to attend the EGM which will also be advertised to non-members.
We appreciate that this news may be of concern and we would like to reassure you, we are doing everything we can to safeguard the future of Headway Northampton. We will be continuing to provide a service for our existing clients and further details about this will be provided on an individual basis.
If you would like to contact us or have any questions regarding the above, please make contact with us. If you have a question, we would prefer it to be submitted in writing by email to administrator@headwaynorthampton.org.uk no less than 7 days prior to the EGM, i.e. 22nd April 2024. We will then answer the question at the EGM.
Once again we thank you for your continued support and hope to welcome you at the EGM.
Yours Faithfully,
Margot Basketfield
Manager

Headway Northampton is a charitable incorporated organisation, a registered charity, and a member of the voluntary sector based near the centre of Northampton. We offer specialist, social and therapeutic activities on a daily basis, for those that have sustained traumatic or acquired brain injury. Our facilities are provided in a safe and pleasant environment. This environment encourages self development for the brain injured person and helps our service users to maintain the rehabilitation that has already been achieved.All of this in turn improves their quality of life, giving a sense of purpose and belonging and providing much needed respite and support for carers and relatives.
