West Suffolk Headway is a rehabilitative support service for people with an acquired brain injury and those who care for them. The charity offers advice, support, rehabilitation and day services to anyone (over the age of 16) who has, during their lifetime, suffered a brain injury through traumatic accident, stroke, virus, tumour or other similar event. Based in Bury St Edmunds, its service supports people across the regions of west Suffolk and south Norfolk. Annually, an estimated 135,000 people are admitted to hospital as a consequence of a brain injury. The effects of the condition are often devastating and can include physical disability, memory loss, speech problems and rapid mood changes. Working to a bespoke care plan and within a rehabilitative framework, members are supported in individual and group-based activities specifically designed to help relearn skills that may have been lost as a result of the injury. Some will return to work, either paid or voluntary. Others may access further education. For most, increasing their daily independence and improvement of life will be their goal. Each year the charity is tasked with raising £30,000 through essential fundraising and the generosity of public donations to ensure the continuation of the service. Therefore, the importance of support given by each and every individual can never be underestimated.
