Headway Guernsey

Member Number:   289

Description Aims and Objectives

A brain injury can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time. One cause is a blow to the head - in an accident, for example. Or you could have a stroke or haemorrhage, even at a young age. Or you could have a brain tumour removed.

Headway Guernsey provides information, support and services to adults, and their families, who are living with the long-term effects of a brain injury.

Headway Guernsey aims to:

• ensure that no-one in the Bailiwick has to go though this life-shattering experience on their own.

• raise awareness of brain injury and the effects of this ‘hidden disability’.

• provide information and mutual support to people with a brain injury, and their families.

• organise activities to help people who have become socially isolated after a brain injury to learn new skills, make new friends and increase in confidence.

Headway Guernsey offers information and mutual support to survivors, and their families, plus a programme of social events and information evenings. Our dream is to create a Headway House – a social centre where people can come during the day to regain their confidence and relearn old skills in an environment where the effects of brain injury are completely understood.

Organisation and Management

Four directors and a committee of brain injury survivors, family members and healthcare professionals, supporting two part-time staff.

Whilst benefiting from affiliation to Headway UK, Headway Guernsey is an independent, Guernsey-registered, company limited by guarantee. All funds raised remain in the Bailiwick.

Finance

Donations.
