Headway Cardiff and South East Wales is a small local charity working in South Wales supporting over 500 people each year who have been affected by an acquired brain injury.
It was established in 1985 as a support group by people with acquired brain injury (ABI), their families and therapists in Rookwood Specialist Rehabilitation Hospital to address the lack of support available to families on discharge and the isolation they could experience.
It has grown and evolved over the years in response to the changing needs of the ABI community living in South East Wales. From a base in University Hospital Llandough, the charity offers support services including Information and Outreach, Welfare Benefits, Counselling Services, and a monthly Family and Friends group. Information and Outreach Officers visit people wherever needed and the charity run weekly social and activity groups that meet in various locations including Barry Sidings (RCT), Pontypool (Torfaen), Pontcanna Fields (Cardiff), Tredegar Park (Newport). It also runs an Independence and Wellbeing Centre five days a week from its base at University Hospital Llandough, on Tuesdays at Hawthorn Community Centre (RCT) and on Thursdays at Highcross Community Centre (Newport).
