About us
We were set up in 1990 by the parents of brain injury survivors when they realised how little help there was for them and their loved ones when they left hospital after suffering life changing accidents. It is thanks to their hard work and determination that brain injury survivors and their supporters today can rely on Headway Somerset to help them when they need it.Â
Only charity in the county specialising in acquired brain injury (ABI) awareness and support
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability for under 40s in the UK
Over 3,000 people in Somerset are hospitalised with brain injuries each year
Survivors often face long-term physical, cognitive, social, and mental health challenges
Mission: ensure everyone affected by ABI has access to information, support, and does not face recovery alone
