Welcome to the Winter 2025 edition of Headway News, an edition packed with stories that celebrate ability, honour dedication, and offer support through the season’s challenges.

On page 5, we explore how to navigate the festive season with a brain injury. From sensory overload to navigating traditions, our brain injury community shares practical tips and reflections on coping with Christmas, reminding us that rest, planning, and self-compassion are powerful gifts.

Turn to page 6 for a vibrant celebration of ability at the ABI Games 2025, where participants from across the UK came together to showcase their talents in sport, creativity, and life skills. It’s a joyful reminder that recovery is not just about overcoming limitations, but embracing what makes each person unique.

On page 10, we speak with Sir John Hayes MP, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Acquired Brain Injury. His insights into policy, rehabilitation, and lived experience highlight the importance of advocacy and the vital role Headway plays in shaping national conversations.

Finally, from pages 16 to 20, we proudly introduce the finalists of the Headway Annual Awards. These inspiring individuals—survivors, carers, volunteers, and staff—embody courage, compassion, and commitment. Their stories are a testament to what can be achieved with support and determination.

We hope you enjoy this edition.
