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.

Remember the sessions are open to all our clients and families. No problem joining any activity if it’s not your “usual day” at the centre.
We got out and about last week as we visited the University of Plymouth to give the third year paramedic students some deeper insight into acquired brain injury.
We talked about how common ABI is, the different types of ABI, and the physical, cognitive, behavioural and emotional effects of ABI.
The stars of the day, of course, were client Alex and his wife, Liane - who gave up their time to share their experience of living with an ABI.
Thank you both for all your support for the students and our charity.
