We say a very fond farewell to David, who has volunteered at our Headway Kent Folkestone Hub every Friday morning for more than three years.
David has been a true part of the Headway Kent community – always reliable, kind, and ready with a smile. His dedication has made a huge difference to the lives of people living with acquired brain injury, as well as to our staff and fellow volunteers.
Sadly, David is stepping back from volunteering to spend more time with his family. While we will miss him greatly, we fully understand and wish him and his loved ones the very best. David, the door is always open – you’ll always be welcome back at Headway Kent whenever the time is right.
Here’s what some of the team had to say about him:
“David's reliability and calm presence set the tone for the whole day.”
“He had time for everyone, no matter how busy things got. That’s a rare quality and one we will all miss deeply.”
“David never failed to bring a smile to people’s faces. His patience and good humour created a safe, friendly space for our clients.”
We’ve given David a small token of our appreciation – a voucher for a well-deserved treat – but no gift can truly capture how thankful we are for everything he has contributed to our Folkestone Hub community.
From all of us at Headway Kent – thank you, David. You will be very much missed. 💙
Volunteers like David are at the heart of everything we do. By giving just a few hours a week, you can make a real difference to people living with brain injury and their families across Kent.
