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
