Headway East London is a charity supporting people affected by brain injury
Specialist support for over 800 people every year
As the effects of brain injury are long-term, so is our support. We offer a range of services to brain injury survivors, their families and carers. This includes our Day & Evening Services, Therapies, Community Support, and Casework.
A community of artists, musicians, foodies and friends
Our amazing members are at the heart of everything we do. Together they represent a group of people who share their talents and skills to help one another through their brain injury experience. Watch our film, The Magic of Chaos, for a window into our world!
Every 90 seconds, someone in the UK is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury.
Living with a brain injury can be confusing, sometimes scary, and often presents new and challenging experiences for all involved.
We know our members are experts in their own injury, and only they can tell us what is most important to them. We combine this expertise with our own, empowering people affected by brain injury to explore new identities whilst developing new skills and interests along the way.
If you have questions about living with brain injury please get in touch to talk with the team.
Every experience of brain injury is unique. A few years ago, we ran a storytelling project called Who Are You Now? capturing some of our members’ personal stories.
For more information, check out our resources page, or take a look at the factsheets about brain injury on the Headway UK website.
We provide lots of different services for both survivors of brain injury, their families and carers. Please visit the What We Do page to find out more.
