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.

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.

We were also able to view our developing garden space and celebrate the incredible collaboration taking place between the charity, local government, local education and local industry.

What a great sunny day to get out of the centre and enjoy a group trip to The Box Plymouth for the fantastic, funny and vibrant Beryl Cook: Pride and Joy exhibition to mark the centenary of this wonderful artist’s birth.

Turns out that client, James, was the inspiration behind one of her brilliant characters!

  • 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.
