Welcome to Headway Plymouth
Who are we?
Headway Plymouth is an independent, non-profit charity with over 35 years of experience in supporting individuals, families and carers affected by acquired brain injury (and the professionals who work with them).
Our mission is to help survivors regain independence and improve their quality of life through specialist social and cognitive rehabilitation and re-enablement.
We provide tailored support for adults with brain injuries, as well as respite and guidance for their families and carers. Our services include centre-based rehabilitation, group programmes and one-to-one outreach support – all designed to promote independence, self-esteem and overall well-being.

Thanks to Plymouth Neurophysio for a fantastic Pilates session at the centre today.
Pilates can support recovery from an acquired brain injury (ABI) by improving core strength, balance, posture, flexibility and coordination. Its slow, controlled movements encourage concentration, body awareness and motor control, which can help rebuild confidence in movement.
Pilates can also improve strength and stability without placing excessive strain on the body. Breathing techniques may promote relaxation and help manage stress and fatigue.
Exercises can be adapted to an individual’s abilities, making Pilates suitable for different stages of rehabilitation.
It can also provide a positive, achievable form of physical activity that supports independence and overall wellbeing.
Huge thanks to the amazing team of volunteers from B&Q who dedicated a whole day to us to finish the refurbishment of our kitchen with shiny new white and wood panels, shelving and a donation of new kitchen equipment too.
It was the perfect group to put the finishing touches to our beautiful kitchen after the B&Q Foundation and Neighbourly collaborated to fund the grand refurb of our kitchen last year.
Thank you so much to all of you from the Headway Plymouth team and our clients.
