We were delighted to welcome delegates to ABIL’s in-person pre-Christmas conference.
The event focused on provision to support ABI survivors, their families and carers in London – with reflections from 2023. It also provided those attending with an excellent opportunity for networking with others during the break and post-event festive refreshments.
We heard from:
Shona Falkner Mesner and Gerry Owusi-Gyamfi of South East London Neuro Navigation service about the role of neuro Navigators;
Anna McEwen, Chief Executive of Headway East London, about the charity’s events during the year to celebrate its 25th birthday;
Laween Saadi, Link Worker for The Silverlining Charity, about their activities and events;
Peter Freeman, Treasurer of UKABIF – standing in for Chloe Hayward – who gave us an update on the ABI Strategy; and
Elizabeth Nightingale, Neuro services lead, Chiltern Music Therapy, with an instructive and highly enjoyable festive session which had the whole audience taking part!
