About Us

Headway Bath & District was founded as a registered charity in 1998. Whilst we are affiliated to Headway – the brain injury association – we operate as a local service provider and hold our own registered charity status (No. 1207519).

We provide specialist relief, cognitive rehabilitation, and support to adults who have suffered an acquired brain injury (through accident, trauma, injury), along with their family and carers.

The charity provides day services throughout the week in Bath, online groups and bespoke 1-to-1 outreach rehab support (see more details on our services page). We provide support in Bath and North East Somerset, North and West Wiltshire.

Our focus is on encouraging service users to be actively engaged in developing their personalised support plans (I-Statements), through a person-centred, rehab and outcomes-based approach. We do this in a safe environment which will facilitate personal development, independence and improve self-esteem, with an emphasis on adjusting to life in the community again.

Our services are not CQC registered, and we cannot provide personal care.

The Staff That Make It All Happen

It is a small but close-knit team that enables Headway Bath & District to offer our life-changing services. We hope to continue expanding the team so we can develop our work and reach, but this is a snapshot of who we have in our team today:
