Strokes, falls, road traffic collisions, assaults, brain tumours, meningitis… these are just a few examples of brain injury causes.
Brain injuries can have devastating, life-long effects on anyone, including you and your loved ones.
Headway Essex is here to support everyone affected by a brain injury, and those caring for them. Through the support of a network of local groups and branches, our free helpline and comprehensive online resources, we rebuild lives – second by second, step by step, day by day.
It only takes a second for your life to change.
Taking place between the 15th and 21st May is ABI Week (Action against Brain Injury) where we’re encouraging everyone to get involved and informed, as we’ll be posting every day through our socials.
Every 90 seconds someone in the UK is admitted to hospital
with an acquired brain injury.
Take a second to find out more and, if you can, please get involved – by donating, volunteering, or simply raising awareness of our services – because every 90 seconds, someone like you needs our help.
Another great way to get involved is to join Headway Essex at the end of ABI week for Hats for Headway Essex where we’ll be encouraging companies, schools and social groups to get together and wear their silliest hats and help raise vital funds for people living with acquired brain injuries.
