Headway, Southampton & West Wessex
We are an independent charity covering Southwest Hampshire, Southeast Wiltshire and Isle of Wight providing much needed support and rehabilitation for those with an acquired brain injury (ABI).
Every 90 seconds someone in the UK is admitted to hospital with an ABI due to a variety of causes i.e. falls, head trauma, tumours, and strokes. An ABI can happen to anyone at any time, and everyone is different. Coming to terms with the effects for individuals, their families and carers, can be very distressing and difficult.
For some their injury is, to an extent, hidden so it easy for them to become isolated.
Our mission is to:
• improve their lives and promote independence.
• provide support and advice to families, and carers.
• raise awareness of the life changing effects of ABIs.
