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.

Green is the theme at Headway Plymouth at the moment as we are also full swing into the redevelopment of our green space thanks to an amazing partnership with Babcock International Group’s project managers and the amazing team of trades they have gathered together to transform the space from a drab area of grass to a brilliant new outside space for our clients to enjoy, learn, grow and share.
Action for Brain Injury Week (ABI Week) will take place 18 - 24 May 2026, bringing the UK together to raise awareness and understanding of brain injury, and to highlight the challenges faced by survivors and their families.
This year, Headway - the brain injury association is creating a powerful national campaign on isolation after brain injury, and we need your help to shape it.
By taking part in our surveys, you’ll be helping us shine a spotlight on the issues that matter most. Your responses will inform the stories we share, the support we call for, and the change we’ll push for during ABI Week 2026.
Are you a brain injury survivor? Are you a family member or carer for somebody with a brain injury? Please take part in the survey that best reflects your experience and tell us how you have experienced isolation after brain injury.
For people affected by brain injury: Help highlight the realities of life after brain injury. buff.ly/LZrbJ26
For family members and carers: Tell us about the challenges and support needs facing families and carers today. buff.ly/HzRFWho
Each survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and can be completed anonymously.
You have until 31 March 2026 to complete them.
