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.

Great to see that Doocey Group are blazing a trail on inclusion. They have been so generous in supporting our green space development project with their time, expertise and funding.
Amazing to see that they are being recognised in supporting women in utilities too.
👏We’ve done it again…Doocey Group are Women in Utilities finalists! 👏
We’re proud to share that Doocey Group has been shortlisted as a Finalist in the Women in Utilities Awards 2026 in the Community Outreach category 🎉
Last year was a standout moment for us, taking home the award for ‘Ask Cara’. Even more exciting, we’ve been told that this year’s brand new #SpeakUp Award was inspired by our previous entry… something we’re incredibly proud of.
This year, our submission shines a spotlight on the impact of our pre-apprenticeship social value programme, alongside our continued efforts to encourage and support more women into the utilities infrastructure industry.
We’re also delighted to be supporting the event as sponsors this year, raising our profile and standing alongside other leading organisations across the utilities sector.
A huge well done to everyone involved 👏 and best of luck to all the finalists!

What's on at Headway Plymouth this week. - mailchi.mp/1128b77c5695/next-week-at-headway-plymouth-6747244
Exactly a year ago on 30th April 2025, Jeremy’s life changed in an instant when he suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage caused by a brain aneurysm.
What followed was emergency surgery, a month in Derriford Hospital across ICU and Erme Ward and then five long months of recovery at home.
During the hardest times, what kept him moving forwards was the determination to recover and to get back on his bike.
This year he’s signed up for the Dartmoor Classic bike ride and is celebrating his incredible recovery by generously raising vital funds for Headway Plymouth.
The ride is far more than just a challenge - it’s a personal milestone in his recovery, proving how far he has come.

We hope you had the most unforgettable day and an experience that will live with you for years to come.
We love this photo - the smile says it all!
Thanks again, Karen - you are a solid gold superstar and the trustees, team, clients and families at Headway Plymouth are so grateful for your efforts.

Just a few minutes to go before our amazing treasurer and trustee, Karen, starts her huge challenge to complete the 2026 TCS London Marathon.
We're wishing her all the very best for what, we know, will be an incredible day full of support, joy, togetherness and probably some discomfort!
Karen has worked so hard, not only to train, but also to raise vital funds for Headway Plymouth.
We cannot express enough our thanks for all you have done as a trustee and fundraiser.
Wishing you a once in a lifetime experience today and a well earned rest afterwards!
Of course, there's still time to donate to Karen’s fundraising effort at:
