Inspiring woman in the running for a national award thanks to her dedication

CHRISTINE IS ONE OF JUST THREE FINALISTS

- By LAURA CROSS

AN inspirational woman has been nominated for a national award. Christine Wells, from Scunthorpe, is a retired occupational therapist and a finalist in Headway UK's annual awards.

The awards celebrate outstanding achievements of brain injury survivors, carers, volunteers, and others in the Headway community across the country.

Chris, 75, became a founding member of Headway Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire in 1998 after seeing the demand for additional support for brain injury survivors, their loved ones and carers in the area.

While Chris retired from her health role eight years ago, she still continued with the branch across various areas.
