Event: ‘Headway’ and it’s Work with Those with Brain Injuries

About the event

Headway is a charity set up to give help and support to people affected by brain injury - many of which are caused by road traffic accidents. It does this in a number of ways:

Locally: A network of local Groups and Branches throughout the UK and Channel Islands offers a wide range of services, including rehabilitation programmes, carer support, social re-integration, community outreach and respite care. The services available will vary, depending on local needs and resources.

Nationally: Headway UK provides support to the local Groups and Branches and helps to deliver high quality services through guidance on policies, procedures, standards and training.

Helen will speak about the work that Headway does and also their affiliation with ‘Brainy Dogs’ which is a unique project where rescue dogs are being trained by prisoners as companion dogs for those with neurological conditions.
