 Happier times at Headway, whose fishing therapy has helped so many people with brain injuries. | There was bad news for a charity last week after £1,200 of fishing gear was taken from an organisation that helps people living with brain injuries. Headway Birmingham and Solihull suffered the break-in at their Rednal centre, in the West Midlands, and the haul including rods, nets and poles. |
Headway chief executive Sue Tyler said: "Even in normal times this would be a dreadful thing to happen, but in these current hard times we despair that someone can do this. "People have made friendships and enjoy getting out in the fresh air and having a chance to sit by a river, canal or lake.
It is therapy as much as a sport!' The equipment had been mainly funded from a £4,000 grant from the Angling Trust, which also paid for Headway staff to be trained to teach fishing.
Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact West Midlands Police, quoting crime number 20BW103657K/20.
