Help with PIP application forms including support at Tribunals, general benefits and legal advice, if required, as well as signposting to other agencies.

We provide brain injury awareness training to public and private sector organisations including Police, local secondary schools, other charities such as MIND and Age Uk, solicitors and Liverpool University fourth year medical students. We also provide placements for first year medical students within our groups.

We also provide advice and support to those seeking benefits, legal advice as well as practical advice around living with a brain injury. We keep a range of Headway published information and can signpost people to other services and community organisations.

We raise awareness of brain injury through presentations to medical students at Liverpool University, training police officers on how to deal with ABI victims, as well as presentations to local General Practitioner Groups in the area.

Telephone support is also available.

Headway Wirral provide support for people living in the area of the Wirral Peninsula, bounded by the Dee Estuary to the west, the Mersey Estuary to the east, and Liverpool Bay to the north. They also run a weekly zoom meeting open to all who don't have a local Headway including Isle of Man, parts of Cheshire and North Wales.
