What our Clients say about us

At Headway Norfolk & Waveney, we actively seek feedback through regular client and carer surveys, as well as programme evaluations. To track progress, we use a tool called the Outcome Star, which captures client-led data across key areas such as lifestyle, self-care, symptom management, work and volunteering, finances, housing, relationships, and overall wellbeing.

On their journey of recovery, 70% of clients reported that they had reached a stage where things were as good as they could be—or were close to that point across all key areas.

“I needed help and approached the Stroke Association, who put me in touch with Headway. This was a lifeline for me. Hearing other people talk about their experiences and knowing, I was not alone. I could understand their problems and they mine.”

“I can be normal when I am at Headway, because we are all in the same boat and people understand my ways without judging me. My confidence has grown. I have started to smile again since coming to Headway”.

“Since my husband had his stoke nearly 12 years ago now, I have found it very difficult to deal with how my husband has changed, he is not the man I married anymore. He can’t speak very well and so everything comes to me to deal with now. Before I found Headway, I knew I had to get some help. I thought about counselling, but I wasn’t sure if they would understand my problem. Finding Headway, was good because everyone who attends, has a similar problem to me and completely understands. We can share information or even suggest ways to alleviate or help others solve their problems."
