Objectives

Headway Thames Valley is a charity helping people to live life after brain injury in Berkshire and South Oxfordshire.

There are many possible causes of brain injury, including a fall, a road accident, sports injury, tumour, stroke, cardiac arrest, complications during operations and post viral infections such as meningitis.

All the activities and support we offer aim to help people to regain lost skills, learn something new, build confidence and independence, provide practical advice on returning to work, establish routines, and deal with new challenges.

Activities

Headway Thames Valley work with adults of all ages, helping to improve life after brain injury.

We provide vital information, support and services to people with an acquired brain injury, their families and carers, across the local community.

Working with people who have suffered a concussion, right through to people who have suffered a severe brain injury, our services include slow stream rehab, peer support groups, educational and acceptance groups, and more traditional neuro-rehab with a psychologist / speech and language therapist / physiotherapist.
