How We Began
HeadwayTynedaleOn Wednesday, April 18th 2007 a public meeting took place at The Torch Centre
in Hexham to look at services currently on offer and to encourage new members to join the brain injury support group.
Headway groups can provide support, information and offer rehabilitation and leisure activities to brain injury survivors,
their families, friends and carers.
We want to help people understand about brain injury. We provide information, support and services to people with
a brain injury, their family, carers and professionals.
A network of Groups and Branches across the UK provide an opportunity to talk to others in a similar situation.
Members can receive practical help and support in coping with the challenges they are experiencing, find out what local services
are available, and share in the emotional roller-coaster that is life with a brain injury.
Across the UK, there are more than 60 Headway Centres. These facilities are run in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
They help brain injury survivors to learn new skills, regain lost ones and re-integrate into society. Headway Centres
also provide much needed respite for families and carers.
