The long term brain injury support and rehabilitation day centre supporting people throughout Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.When brain injury strikes someone in Nottingham, resulting in debilitating physical and cognitive disabilities or behavioural problems, we can help equip people with the skills they need to achieve to their potential and live a life that is not defined by disability. Our Outreach Project supports people throughout our community with the practical implications of brain injury, including welfare advice and advocacy, housing and external service liaison. Where long term rehabilitation is required, we provide a comprehensive timetable of rehabilitation workshops to address the varied, complex and profound disabilities people struggle with everyday. Headway Nottingham is a small, local charity with a big remit. With someone in the UK admitted to hospital every 90 seconds following an acquired brain injury, our potential beneficiary group continues to grow.Anyone can make a referral to Headway Nottingham; health care professionals, social workers, carers, friends or the individual themselves. We're a friendly team and always happy to help.
