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 amazing charity treasurer and trustee, Karen, is running London Marathon three weeks today to raise vital funds for Headway Plymouth.
She’s had a winter of training, done the hard, long Sunday miles and is ready to start winding down to her taper so she’s fully prepared for the big day on 26th April.
She already invested so much time and effort in training, hosting quizzes and dog walks to support her fundraising effort.
Now the final push to get her fundraising over her target finish line.

It was great to welcome Luke Pollard, our local MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport, to our centre recently.
He listened to what we had to say about the crisis in funding in health and adult social care around rehabilitation and long term support for survivors and families living with the effects of an ABI.
Hopefully, Luke can be a force for good in government on this vital issue and also support our efforts in Plymouth to raise awareness around our charity, the work we do and the thousands of individuals who are living unsupported lives with an ABI.

Life is amazing and fun when you turn up to Headway Plymouth!
Help when you need it with body and mind. Having fun with people like myself. The volunteers are so good with everyone.
I love the flexibility of being able to come on other days for activities I’d really like. The monthly ABI awareness sessions are super helpful and worthwhile.
Headway Plymouth really helped with the concentration and obviously there’s sessions and activities as well. Being there has contributed to my concentration growing.
Headway Plymouth has helped, not just with the brain injury side but given more confidence in meeting new people.
Instead of the same thing week in week out, I do something different. I wouldn’t have gone to the aquarium and I wouldn’t have visited to the Box.
