About Headway Gloucestershire

Headway Gloucestershire was established in 1987 and since then has been working to make a

positive difference to the lives of adult survivors of brain injury. We provide specialist recovery

support and respite through our centre-based Enablement Service and outreach support through

our Community Links service.

Our centre-based Enablement Service is the core of Headway Gloucestershire. Open every weekday,

we offer activities that focus on the five elements of rehabilitation: emotional functioning; cognitive

functioning; learning; social interaction and behaviour. This takes the form of a structured timetable

so that survivors of brain injury can select the activities that help them work towards their own

unique recovery goals. We work one to one and also employ a group format to harness the unique

recovery benefits of peer contact and support.

Our Community Links outreach service provides practical information, recovery advice and support;
it works alongside survivors and their families as they tackle issues and make adjustments to cope

with the changes that brain injury can bring.

Headway Gloucestershire is a busy, growing charity providing services to brain injury survivors and

their families and carers. Every year we are challenged to raise funds to help deliver our services.
