Past meetings
Headway Bridgend

By

Previous meetings have seen Headway Bridgend enjoy many different activities. We have enjoyed a foods from around the world evening where each member was encouraged to bring an item from different parts of the world for us to try.

We have also enjoyed a sit down evening where members who felt comfortable told their story.

In May we had a fish and chip supper and all members brought a hat in support of Hats for Headway.

During the meeting in June we had the AGM meeting and a game of Bingo with prizes.

July saw Headway Bridgend celebrate July the 4th. We had a American quiz and sweets from America. Finished the meeting with hot dogs
