Specialist support & services for over 700 people every year
We offer services to brain injury survivors, their families and carers. This includes our Day Service, Neurological Therapies, Community Support, and Casework. As the effects of brain injury are long-term, so is our support.

A community of artists, musicians, foodies and friends
At the heart of our organisation are our amazing members. Together they represent a group of people who every day share their talents and skills to help one another through their brain injury experience.
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 different and unique. A few years ago we ran a storytelling project called Who Are You Now? capturing some of these personal accounts. You can also read lots of factsheets about brain injury on the Headway UK website.
