Our Team

The charity is run and administered by a board of Trustees who volunteer their time and efforts. They come from a range of different backgrounds, with a common goal of improving outcomes and services for survivors of brain injuries.

​Sara Din's role as a Project Lead includes providing information and advice based on the support required, hospital outreach, and facilitating social events such as the monthly support group. Sara has also worked on developing a health and wellbeing programme which aims to improve the confidence of brain injury survivors in managing their own condition.

​Sara values the fact that there is always something new to learn from each interaction with someone, whether they be a brain injury survivor, a family member or a healthcare professional.

Ed Lassman, Treasurer/Patient Representative, was introduced to Headway after experiencing a TBI caused by a bicycle accident in October 2011. An active history of competitive rugby and working in financial services for many years didn't gear Ed up for the challenges ahead. HWL helped greatly in Ed's recovery and he was delighted to join the trustees in 2014.

​Ed has been treasurer for the past few years and has greatly enjoyed being a part of a growing charity with motivated staff and trustees helping those who really need it. Outside work and HWL, Ed enjoys cycling and lifting weights.
