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.

Whats on at Headway Plymouth this week. - https://mailchi.mp/6b5ec83c4833/next-week-at-headway-plymouth-6747118

She’s only gone and done it.

In hot hot conditions and with “less than perfect training” (her words), Karen has completed her first mass participation road marathon and what a doozy to start with.

The most finishers in the fastest competitive marathon ever!

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.

Rest and recover well.

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:

Food is always fun on Food Is Fun CIC Fridays at Headway Plymouth.

Thank you to Tami, Sean and Jack who supported our clients to make a pasta lunch extravaganza of turkey meatballs, with a fresh tomato sauce followed by a home made apple, pear, peach and oat crumble (with a bucket of custard).

Thanks also to our great friends at FareShare South West who supplied most of the ingredients for today’s feast.

  • 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.
