Welcome to Headway Plymouth

Headway Plymouth’s mission is to enable adults in Plymouth and surrounding areas with acquired brain injury to live independent lives.

Headway Plymouth is a day centre in Devonport where we work with clients both in a group and invididually using various activities designed to improve or maintain cognitive and executive functions such as memory, decision making, information processing, communicatio, behaviour. The centre is also a social space where clients with ABI can meet with people like themselves, a safe space where they can relax and be themselves without apology, explanation or fear.

Headway Plymouth also provides enabling support to clients thereby allowing them to live in their own homes. We assist with opening and reading mail, computers and accessing email, ordering shopping online, and work towards improving and maintaining their cognitive and social skills from the comfort of their own home. We also assist clients out in the community enabling them to access the community by taking them shopping, to medical appointments, or to social activities and events that they could not otherwise access.

All our services are designed to motivate people to achieve their goals, adapt to their new life with brain injury and live as independently as possible. We aim to support people back into the community to volunteer, seek employment, or other meaningful activities to enable them to live fulfilling lives.

Our support services also provide respite for the family or carers to enable them to have some time to get out and do the things they need or wish to do.

At Headway Plymouth we believe life does not end with brain injury. i
