How your support helps

Brain injury can challenge every aspect of your life – walking, talking, thinking and feeling – and the losses can be severe and permanent. It can mean losing the life you once lived and the person you once were.

A brain injury can happen to anyone, at any time. When it does, we're here to help.

On a national level, Headway provides a range of front-line services to help those affected by brain injury, including:

• a freephone Helpline (0808 800 2244, helpline@headway.org.uk)
• a comprehensive award-winning website containing information and fact sheets on all aspects of brain injury (www.headway.org.uk)
• an award-winning range of booklets and publications designed to help people understand and cope with the effects of brain injury
• an Emergency Fund to assist people dealing with the financial implications in the immediate aftermath of a brain injury
• support to a network of more than 125 groups and branches that provide physical, cognitive and social rehabilitation and support to individuals and families
• a directory of approved residential homes, rehabilitation units and respite facilities specialising in ABI.

The charity also lobbies for better support and resources to be made available to people affected by brain injury and works to raise awareness of brain injury and the devastating effects it can have.
