Every year we select a charity to help with fundraising and support that is close to our hearts. This year we have selected Headway Essex – Headway works to improve life after a brain injury and provides rehabilitative care to survivors of a brain injury.

In Winter 2015, our good friend Michael Gates received a terrible news that he was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour at the age of 31. Michael undergone brain surgery to remove the tumour and radiotherapy treatment and is now on the long road to recovery. As a result of the brain tumour and treatment Michael has incurred Nystagmus in his left eye resulting in reduced vision and depth perception which affects his balance and co-ordination.
