As a charity, Headway Essex is here to ensure that everyone in Essex living with an acquired brain injury can live a fulfilling life and that families and carers are better able to cope within their caring roles.
Established in 1985, Headway Essex has a long history of supporting people living with acquired brain injury. We understand just how complex and wide ranging the effects can be. This is why we tailor our support, taking into account each person’s future aspirations.
Working across Essex, we offer day services & activities and support in the community to hundreds of clients, family, friends and carers each year.
We also proactively promote awareness of brain injury by offering training to professionals, acting as an educational resource for universities and by running awareness events within schools and colleges.
