About my charity

Headway

Headway, the National Association for Acquired Brain Injury.

How a brain injury affects people

A brain injury can happen suddenly to anyone after an accident, a stroke, or an infection, for example. It can make it difficult for them to return to work or study, to enjoy a social life, to communicate fully with other people, or even to live independently.

How Headway makes a difference

“The Headway staff were always there – building up my confidence and helping me set new goals.” Sinead, a Dublin Rehabilitative Day Services client.

“After my accident, I started going to Headway. I learned how to cook and use computers, and relearned how to read and write. Headway gave me a reason to get up every morning.” John, a Rehabilitative Services Trainee in Cork.

“Your reply to my e-mail didn’t just give me information. I found it very reassuring that I am able to keep in contact for further help.” Michael, from Limerick.

Headway develops, promotes and provides much needed services for all those affected by an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI).

Our mission is to bring about positive change in the lives of all those affected by acquired brain injury.

An ABI can be caused by the following

  • A road traffic accident
  • An assault
  • A tumour
  • Surgery
  • Viral infection
  • Stroke
  • Brain haemorrhage
  • Lack of oxygen
