A New Partnership to Support People with Brain Injuries
Headway Devon, a local charity based in Exeter, specializes in helping individuals rehabilitate from head injuries.
Together with Thompsons Solicitors, MAPS Benevolent Trust, and the Players of the Postcode Lottery, they recognized that people with brain injuries often lack support after being discharged from the hospital.
You've spent months in hospital, in ICU, in rehabilitation with a team of clinicians around you and suddenly you're all alone.
Many individuals may not fully understand their condition, and some may be navigating a legal battle for compensation. Headway Devon currently supports around 100 people weekly, but there are more who go home alone without knowing about their services.
Thanks to the new partnership, Headway Devon can now provide support to people in the hospital, reaching more individuals in need.
