A New Partnership to Support People with Brain Injuries
Headway Devon, a local charity based in Exeter, specializes in helping individuals rehabilitate from head injuries.
Together with Thompsons Solicitors, MAPS Benevolent Trust, and the Players of the Postcode Lottery, they recognize the challenges people face after brain injuries, often being discharged home without sufficient support.
You've spent months in hospital, in ICU, in rehabilitation with a team of clinicians around you and suddenly you're all alone.
Many individuals may not fully understand their condition, and some may be navigating a legal fight for compensation without guidance, all while recovering and regaining skills.
Headway Devon currently supports around 100 people weekly, but acknowledges that there are more individuals who go home alone, unaware of their services.
Thanks to the new partnership, Headway Devon can now provide support in hospitals, reaching more people in need.
