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.

On the sunniest day of the year so far, we got out into the fresh air of Devonport Park with the brilliant Laura - Devonport Ranger from the Nature Plymouth Green Communities team.
It was all about looking and listening out for the host of bird species that frequent the park.
Amazingly, the first bird spotted by eagle-eyed (geddit!) Steve was a goldfinch - swiftly followed by gulls, wood pigeons, magpies, house sparrows, blackbirds and robins.
So much life on our doorstep. Here’s to more sunny days and trips to the park!
Thanks, as always, Laura, for taking time out of your busy schedule to support us!
Just a reminder that tomorrow is our family and carer’s peer support group led by our wonderful education lead - Penny Weekes.

What's on at Headway Plymouth this week. - mailchi.mp/88133d201d54/next-week-at-headway-plymouth-6746162
We’re so thrilled to have secured funding for our “Brain Food” garden in the latest round of POP Plymouth Octopus Collab voting.
Massive thanks to all our POP member colleagues who voted for us - together with our lead collaborators, Food Is Fun CIC.
We’re hoping for a very swift transformation of our outside area so we can offer more outdoor re-enablement activities, food, nutrition and cooking sessions for clients and families - and a beautiful new space for our local community to enjoy.
Watch this space as our transformation takes place with a huge combined effort from Babcock International Group, Nature Plymouth and volunteers from City College Plymouth Higher Education

It was a flippin’ fab pancake day at Headway House yesterday. Pancakes for all - created, made and flipped by our amazing clients.
Not sure what our paramedic placement student, Violet, made of it all on day two of her two weeks with us!
