MAKING HEADWAY
Brain Injury HB - February 2021
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
2021 has arrived and after a short step up to
Covid-19 Alert Level 2 we are back enjoying
the freedoms of Alert Level one and this
means we are able to hold a number of
community events! Make sure to read on to
check out what is coming up and how you can
get involved.
We have been incredibly fortunate to team up with Toyota HB and
Stewart from Streetwise Coffee to secure a new vehicle for our
Education Service!! Support from the Gwen Malden Trust and our
community made this possible and will allow our Team to be out and
about in the community providing education and support.
We also need to say a BIG thank you to Speedy Signs for completing
the signwriting on the vehicle and for
their ongoing support of our
organisation!!
As always thank you to our
members, community funders,
sponsors, volunteers and
everyone who has donated to
support our organisation. If you
would like to learn more about
you can support our work please

CHECKING IN ...
VICKI
I am so excited to be part of RYDA
(Rotary Youth Driver Awareness) this
year! RYDA is a Youth Driver
programme that is presented to
high school students throughout
New Zealand. The RYDA Programme
is made of different sessions
throughout a day, Seth Adams and I
will be presenting the Crash
Investigators sessions.
These sessions get the students to investigate an accident in the hope they
develop an understanding of how there are many different components
involved. I will be taking the students through a presentation that explains
how their actions can contribute to an accident happening, and to the
severity. Seth will share with the students his personal experience, then
students will use what they have learnt to ask Seth questions about his
crash to try and understand how it happened. We have 5 High Schools
booked so far for 2021 and expect many more to be confirmed soon.
CHECK OUT THE BLOG!
The team continue to keep the online
world up to date with our work. You can
check these out on the Website -
www.braininjuryhb.org.nz and can be
found under the "News" tab.
New articles will be uploaded every month from the staff, volunteers and
those with a story to share. If you would like to write for our blog we
would love to have some new contributers - email Dee on
dee.withers@braininjuryhb.co.nz to get involved.
