Rebuilding life after brain injury
At Headway Shropshire, we support people living with brain injury – and the families and carers beside them – every step of the way.
Our mission is to help individuals regain independence, rebuild their lives, and rediscover what’s possible. We understand the life-changing impact of brain injury and offer not just expert guidance, but a sense of community and hope for the future.
If you or someone you love needs support or if you’d like to help us make a difference, please get in touch today.

Corporate Partnerships
As an independent charity, we depend on the generous support of organisations and their employees around the UK to be able to keep providing the support our clients need here in Shropshire.
There’re loads of ways you can help, from fundraising, donating, volunteering and more.
You can make a real difference to people rebuilding their lives after brain injury.
A Personal Mission
“I don’t remember the accident. It left me with all sorts of problems. Lying in the hospital bed, you can curl up and say “oh, damn it”, or you can say “what sort of life can I live now?”.
There was no place for people [with acquired brain injury]. Headway was an excellent way of bringing these people together. It was hard work, but we got the thing going. It’s a central part of their life.
Everyone here is happy.”
Norman Harris
Co-founder of Headway Shropshire
