Angela Morgan (Chair)
“My working life started in Banking in the City. After a gap for 2 children, I worked in the Chilterns Area Office of the Citizen’s Advice Bureaux. There I trained Area Office staff to use computers for word processing etc. I then joined my husband in the running of our company, providing bespoke Management Information Systems to Adult Colleges & Local Authorities. My role has been training (1 to 1, or classes up to 20), support, problem resolution, user manual writing plus a wide range of activities such as designing marketing material to name a few. I first came in contact with Headway Luton when my son suffered a brain injury. Like many here, our experience of Headway has been phenomenally positive after such a difficult & worrying time. I hope that my experiences of running a service business through several recessions will be helpful to the future success of Headway Luton.”
Brian Bateson (Treasurer)
“I have been involved with Headway Luton since 2003 when my wife had a brain hemorrhage. Headway Luton has been an immense benefit to my wife and she thoroughly enjoys her time here. I was asked to join the Board of Trustees because of my knowledge of Headway Luton from a carer perspective as well as my 32 years experiences of working in finance for the NHS. As Treasurer of Headway Luton, I have successfully introduced an annual budget setting process. I have also formulated and implemented a plan to pay off our 20 year mortgage in just five and a half years. From September 2018 we owned our own building. I would like to see Headway Luton grow and reach its potential to help even more people.”
Vivienne Honegan-Headley
“I have worked in the NHS for over 21 years. I have experience in HR, finance and administration. I also have experience and knowledge of Carnival arts and community fundraising because of my involvement with Rampage Mas CIC. I first became aware of Headway though work and then later Headway Luton through Andrew who was my friend at the time, and now my husband.”
Andrew Headley
“My involvement with Headway Luton started after my wife, Bernadette, had a stroke in 2000. She came home in 2001. She was recommended to Headway Luton and Lynne came to interview her. She attended Headway Luton until she died in 2015. After her death I decided to volunteer on a Wednesday I did that for a while and then I was asked to join the board of trustees and here I am!”
Asif Malik
“I became involved with Headway Luton as it is one of the few charities that focuses on brain injuries – something that affects a great number of people. I am a qualified accountant with experience in finance, tax and audit. I have a strong desire to use my knowledge and experience to help others, and volunteering at Headway Luton has given me a great deal of satisfaction in achieving this desire. My personal aim is to assist the charity in continuing to achieve its objectives in the most efficient and effective manner, thereby helping the maximum number of those in need of its services.”
Chris Harvey
“I have worked in NHS for nearly 40 years. I started off as a nurse and worked my way through the grades. I have mainly worked in emergency care and then moved into other areas including adult safeguarding. I worked in the BMLK CCG as Head of Quality and then emergency planning working in the team involved in organising the COVID-19 vaccinations and mobile testing. I currently work in the Hertfordshire ICB. I first came to know about Headway Luton because I had a friend who had an ABI and accessed the services of Headway Luton. I was impressed with the support and service provided. Due to conflict of interest I was not able to get involved in Headway when I worked for the BLMK CCG but now I work for Hertfordshire ICB, there is no conflict of interest and I am excited to help Headway Luton in any way I can.”
