Headway Devon is an independent registered charity working to provide essential services to people with brain injuries, their families and carers.

We aim to break down social exclusion and aid reintegration into society for people whose hidden disability has caused their whole world to change— often without warning, leaving a maelstrom of feelings and issues to cope with in a society which still as a whole has little understanding of brain injury.

Acquired brain injury from head injuries, strokes, tumours and other causes, happens to over a million people a year and has far-reaching consequences. People are changed sometimes for ever. Headway Devon is a local charity working to improve life after brain injury by providing essential specialist services:

• Centre-based Rehabilitation
• Children's Centre
• Community Outreach (including Supporting People)
• Support for Carers
• Information and Advice
• Training for Professionals and Carers
• Campaigning and Awareness Raising
• Helpline

We are a registered charity (no. 1097870) and a company limited by guarantee (registered in England no. 4777788)
