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.

Both happy and sad at the centre today. Our old faithful monster of a pool table has gone to a wonderful new home at Mount Wise Neighbourhood Centre - thanks so much to the Headway and MWNC teams for getting stuck into the move.

Thanks also to the fellas from Tamar trash - waste removal for turning out to help with the heavy lifting! T’was a beast.

…and don’t panic - thanks to some amazing donations, we have a replacement, fold away, pool table arriving tomorrow!

Fantastic fundraising work being done by our friends at Livewell Foundation!

❤️What better way to mark #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek than a shout-out to the incredible team of Livewell Legends at Next Generation Nursing and Care.

Kim and co are fundraising for Plym Bridge House, a specialist young people’s mental health unit that provides care and support for 12–18-year-olds experiencing serious mental health challenges here in Plymouth.

They'll be spending #NationalWalkingMonth in May up, out and about with colleagues and clients clocking up the steps to raise money for Plym Bridge House towards a much needed nurturing sensory space on site.

  • 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.
