About my charity

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.
