A brain injury can affect anyone at any time. When it does, we’re here to help.
Headway is the UK-wide charity that supports people affected by brain injury.
Every 90 seconds, someone in the UK is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury. This could be the result of a trauma, stroke, infection or tumour.
Most of these people will need help and support in rebuilding their lives.
From supporting families at the hospital bedside, through to helping people relearn the basic life skills they once took for granted, Headway is on hand to help people rebuild their lives.
