Headway Brain Injury AGM

November 2024

I regularly attend Headway charity’s support group sessions, and joined Sam Shephard (Service Lead for Hospitals & Groups) at a networking AGM event and review presentation of Headway’s achievements over the past year.

Headway are a specialist charity assisting and supporting individuals with brain injuries. They have a highly experienced Board of Trustees, as well as a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who are deeply committed to working within an ethos and framework with values to ensure their team and service meets the vision and aims of the Headway charity.

Their focus is on clients being given choice and control through providing caring personal support to meet their individuals needs and achieve the best outcomes for recovery and integration into public life and work opportunities.

Headway provides reassurance from the point of contact and aims to give emotional support and practical advice for people affected by brain injury in all areas of their service. They can offer tailored programmes for rehabilitation with input from specialist partner therapists. Reablement supports client members to rebuild their lives within the community, and activities also provide respite as part of continued specialist support to maintain and improve every day life for both clients and their family carers.

A focus on the future and wellbeing helps with relearning or gaining new skills towards finding a new hobby, meaningful occupation or work.
