About Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland Headway

What we do

Leicestershire, Leicester & Rutland Headway are a specialist provider supporting individuals after a brain injury. We are there when survivors are feeling fearful, alone and do not know what the future holds. Established in 1990 we have over 30 years’ experience of improving life after brain injury.

 

We operate a day service five days a week plus a city and countywide (including Rutland) outreach service and a digital day service too for remote support. Across these services we provide access to Neuro Occupational Therapy, Neuro Physiotherapy, 1:1 counselling and peer support.

 

We have a board of trustees with a wealth of skills and knowledge, alongside many experienced volunteers from a diverse range of backgrounds.
