Services

Brain injury is often referred to as the ‘hidden disability’, as it is difficult for others to see or understand; this makes it hard for people with a brain injury, or their relatives or carers, to explain to others the nature of their difficulties and receive appropriate support.

Headway East London specialises in creating personalised support services and programmes for people with an acquired brain injury. We are a person-centred organisation, so instead of telling our members what to do, we ask what’s important to them and work from there.

Headway East London do whatever we can to make sure members have a meaningful and engaged role in any of the services they participate in. We aim to empower and enable people by supporting them to develop their skills and abilities to cope better with the difficulties which arise from having an ABI.

As the effects of an ABI are long-term, so is our support. As people develop their skills and confidence, we will seek to offer them other opportunities to challenge and stimulate them further.

Our services include:

  • Headway House
  • Outreach
  • Family Support
  • Discovery Programme
  • Volunteering Programme
  • Younger People’s Network (16 - 30yrs)
  • Therapy Outreach
