Quarter 1 Outcomes 2025

At Headway Norfolk and Waveney, we believe that every individual living with an acquired brain injury (ABI) deserves the chance to rebuild, reconnect, and rediscover independence. Our Quarter 1 results show the real difference your support helps us make in people’s lives.

Why We Do It

A brain injury can change everything in an instant – from independence and wellbeing, to relationships and community. Without the right support, recovery can feel overwhelming and isolating. We exist to change that.

Our services provide practical tools, emotional support, and opportunities for people to achieve their goals – big and small. These stats reflect not just numbers, but lives transformed.

The Human Impact

“I love coming to Headway and everyone here... Great for my mental health. If it wasn’t for Headway I do not know where I would be. I have achieved so much coming.”

Every percentage represents a person’s journey – someone regaining confidence, rebuilding relationships, or taking their first steps towards independence after brain injury.

Why It Matters

Recovery doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, dedication, and the right kind of support. Our results highlight the importance of what we do: enabling people not just to survive after brain injury, but to thrive.

Behind every number is a story of resilience, courage, and community.

Together, We Make This Possible

These achievements are only possible thanks to the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and supporters. Whether through donations, fundraising, or giving time, every contribution ensures that more people living with brain injury get the support they need – when they need it most.
