Headway
Tunbridge Wells & District
is a registered charity providing information, support, and
services to people who have sustained a brain injury, their family
and carers.
We aim to provide social, leisure and therapeutic activities for
brain injured people at Headway, to help achieve the highest possible
level of functioning and quality of life.
We aim to provide respite for families and carers.
Headway services can commence at any time from the initial brain
injury, through to the stage when the brain injured person is in
the community or in residential care. Our support and outreach
services can involve the brain injured person, his or her carers,
medical rehabilitation and other professionals.
Referrals to Headway for help, information and support can be
made in a number of ways. Through self or family referral, general
practitioner, nursing staff, consultants, care managers/social
workers, solicitors and other interested people in the community.
Headway Tunbridge Wells and district is affiliated to Headway
UK, the brain injury association, which has groups and branches
through out the UK.
After years at Pembury Hospital, following the news of the development
of the site for a new hospital, Headway has moved into its new
centre at:

 Can you help?
Volunteers needed – Occasionally, Headway is asked to contribute to questionnaires and surveys on health and social care matters relating to brain injury and its effects on individuals and carers. If you are willing to offer your opinions and thoughts, do let me know so that you can be contacted and your views can be heard.
Buddies – if you would be willing to share your experience of living with brain injury with new carers trying to understand the effects of a brain injury on their family, I would be very grateful to hear from you.
