You probably know someone who has survived a brain injury.
Road traffic accidents, falls, assaults and strokes have left over 150,000 Londoners disabled by brain injury.
A brain injury can have a life changing effect on the individual, their families and carers. Some people will need to deal with significant and on-going difficulties with their memory, concentration, emotions or behaviour as well as physical disability. These individuals may also face barriers when trying to re-enter the workplace and the wider community.
At Headway East London we ensure that people affected by brain injury get the support they need, make new friends and find new hope. We run Headway House, the only brain injury centre of its kind in inner London to offer specialist services and neuro therapies.
We believe that everyone has something to contribute within Headway and the wider community – that every person with a brain injury should be valued, respected and deserves every opportunity to live a full and active life.
