Headway Gloucestershire was established in 1988 and since then has been working to make a positive difference to the lives of people with an acquired brain injury. We provide specialist recovery support and respite through our centre-based Enablement Service and outreach support through our Community Links service.

Headway Gloucestershire is a busy, growing charity providing services to people with an acquired brain injury and their families and carers. Every year we are challenged to raise funds to help deliver our services.

Our centre-based Enablement Service is the heart of Headway Gloucestershire. Open every weekday, we offer activities that focus on the five elements of rehabilitation: emotional functioning; cognitive functioning; learning; social interaction and behaviour. Our Community Links Service offers outreach advice and support for people with an acquired brain injury in Gloucestershire and is often the first point of contact.
