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.

Our next Family and Carers Peer Support Group takes place next Wednesday 24th June at 2pm at our Devonport Centre Hub.
It’s face to face, free and open anyone living with and/or caring for any brain injury survivor.
Facilitated by our education lead, Penny Weekes, it’s an opportunity to chat, learn and share experiences.
For these sessions, we do ask that you book a free space via our Eventbrite page at:

…just so we have a clear idea of the likely numbers of attendees.
Yesterday saw the welcome return of Tami and the team from the brilliant Food Is Fun CIC who are always so supportive in guiding our clients and helping them re-learn tasks that we might take for granted.
Yesterday there was the planning and preparation of a delicious lunch menu which included home made quiche, mixed and potato salad - and a super healthy fruit salad.
The best part, of course, is enjoying the fruits of our efforts by eating that delicious lunch together.
