A network of local Groups and Branches throughout the UK and Channel Islands offers support and a wide range of services to people with a brain injury, their family and carers.
Headway's nurse-led helpline provides information on all aspects of acquired brain injury including symptoms, rehabilitation and practical problems.
Headway's emergency fund provides grants of up to £500 to help families and individuals cope with the practical implications of a sudden catastrophic brain injury.
