Headway Coventry and Warwickshire

Offering support to people with an acquired brain injury

An acquired brain injury (ABI) is an injury caused to the brain since birth. There are many possible causes, including a fall, a road accident, tumour and stroke.

Headway Coventry & Warwickshire runs support groups in Warwick, Coventry and Nuneaton. Each group offers support for individuals with an ABI, their families and carers.

The volunteers who run the groups share information about brain injury, its impacts and effects and they can also signpost members to other local agencies who can help with recovery and rehabilitation.

At some support group sessions, activities are organised. Members have taken part in craft sessions, board games and creative writing.

The charity is a branch of the national Headway charity, which was founded in 1979.
