Headway Leicestershire, Leicester & Rutland started in 1990 from humble beginnings with one part-time member of staff. Today we employ 19 full and part-time staff, operate a 5 days a week day service, and a city and countywide (including Rutland) outreach service.

Who we help

• Adults - adults between the ages of 18-65 living in Leicestershire and Rutland with an acquired or traumatic brain injury.
• Families and carers - We can give advice and information from an early stage; often taking referrals whilst individuals are still in hospital. Supporting the familes along the way.
• Professionals - We can give talks and presentations on the work we do and basic information about brain injury and its effects. We can also offer volunteering opportunities to those studying courses relevant to brain injury, eg physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology and speech and language therapy.
