A New Partnership to Support People with Brain Injuries
Headway Devon, a local charity based in Exeter, specializes in helping individuals rehabilitate from head injuries.
In partnership with Thompsons Solicitors, MAPS Benevolent Trust, and the Players of the Postcode Lottery, they aim to support people with brain injuries who are discharged home without wider support.
You've spent months in hospital, in ICU, in rehabilitation with a team of clinicians around you and suddenly you're all alone.
Many individuals may not understand the extent of their brain injury and may be navigating a legal fight for compensation without guidance.
Headway Devon currently works with around 100 people weekly, but there are many more who go home alone without knowledge of their services.
Thanks to the new partnership, Headway Devon can now provide support in hospitals, reaching more individuals in need.
