Cathy has been Chair of
Headway Sefton since the group began. She brings deep compassion and understanding through her own lived experience supporting her husband, Jan, following two separate traumatic brain injuries.
Cathy is often the first friendly voice new members speak to and is passionate about helping individuals and families feel supported, understood and connected.

In her professional life she is a Solicitor who specialises in helping clients with brain injuries and is the Head of the Catastrophic Injury Team at Carpenters group. She is also a Headway Approved Lawyer and a former public governor at The Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery.
In 2013 Carol approached Headway UK to seek permission to open a local branch of Headway in Sefton. On the day permission was given she bumped into Cathy in a carpark and Headway Sefton was born.

Jan has decades of experience running a successful accountancy practice.

He is the survivor of two brain injuries and has been with the branch since its inception. Jan gives a unique perspective and ensures that the needs and wishes of brain injury survivors are at front and centre of all we do as a branch.

He is also the creator of the painting in the image backdrop based on his own experience being a brain injured person.
