Headway Lincolnshire

Headway Lincolnshire is a local charity that provides information and support to brain injury survivors and their families across the county.

Headway Lincolnshire can help in the following ways -

• 1:1 Counselling for Brain Injury Survivors

• Six-weekly education groups for brain injury survivors and those caring for them to better understand their brain injury and its effects (delivered online)

• Weekly Zooms - 'Together from Home' every Thursday morning e.g. Pilates, Laughter Yoga etc
