WELCOME TO...
HEADWAY ESSEX
In Essex, every 58 minutes, somebody is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury. As a charity, our mission is 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.
Thanks to those who volunteer, fundraise and donate to us, we are able to help those we support develop a renewed sense of purpose, social structure and added meaning to their lives.
As an Essex-wide brain injury charity, we have two hubs offering day services for adults living with acquired brain injury - The Headway Centres located in Colchester, North Essex and Benfleet, South Essex.
Both our hubs provide practical activities and services to help people regain lost skills and learn how to cope and adjust.
Our carers and support staff in both localities have lots of experience in supporting people living with brain injury and provide structured support plans to help you with everyday living.
One of the many benefits in attending our day service hubs is that you have a chance to meet other people also living with brain injury. We’ve found that this helps lessen isolation and improves mental health and overall well-being.
Our support team will help you understand your brain injury; how it affects you and your family and what tools you could use to help you make adjustments in your life. Our aim is to support you in achieving your own goals.
