DAY SERVICES
We are a person-centred service, where each individual helps shape their own journey. Activities are not prescribed; they are chosen. Whether someone wants to regain skills, try something new, or simply spend time in good company, we work alongside them to make that possible.
At the heart of what we offer is peer support — the opportunity to connect with others who truly understand. Many of the people who come to us say this is one of the most powerful parts of their experience: being somewhere you don’t have to explain yourself, where shared understanding builds confidence, friendships and hope."
Headway House is more than a service — it is a place full of
laughter, warmth and possibility. A place where people are seen for who they are, not defined by their injury. Recovery here is not only about physical progress, but about rediscovering identity, confidence and joy.
You might find people gathered over tea and cake, chatting and supporting one another. Or trying something new, building skills, or simply enjoying being part of something again.
Our staff bring not only professional expertise, but consistency, care and long-term commitment. Many have worked with us for years, building trusted relationships that are vital to recovery. They understand that progress looks different for everyone, and they are there every step of the way — encouraging, supporting and celebrating each achievement.
We focus on the person, not the injury. This is a place where people are supported to move forward at their own pace, in their own way. There are goals, where individuals want them — but there is also space simply to be, to rebuild confidence, and to rediscover what makes life meaningful.
Above all, Headway House is a place of hope and optimism — a place where potential is recognised, where people work together, and where every day brings the opportunity for connection, growth and belonging.
