About Us
Headway House
In 1997, a collection of people directly affected by acquired brain injury (ABI) and professionals working in neurological rehabilitation, identified a absence of long-term support for people with ABI in Hackney and the surrounding area. In an attempt to provide support to those in the local community, Headway East London was born.
Headway House (Kingsland Road, E2) is open five days a week, acting as the hub for all the charitable activity generated by Headway East London with services including family and carer support, a younger person’s network, outreach, a volunteering programme, counselling, physiotherapy, and complementary therapy, and new Discovery Programme (see services for more info).
Headway East London is not just a provider of professional services - it’s an important community. Around a 170 people visit our premises on a weekly basis. Of these 120 have an ABI and 50 do not; some people are paid and some are volunteer helpers.
The organisation continues to grow and develop and get better at helping people to take up roles and responsibilities they can feel proud of.
