Edinburgh Headway Group 2.64

Edinburgh Headway Group, founded in 1982, is a Registered Scottish Charity (SC006528) dedicated to helping and supporting the traumatically head injured, and people who have suffered certain other traumatic forms of acquired brain injury (ABI), their families and carers. Our premises at the Astley Ainslie Hospital are open Monday to Thursday from 9am to 4pm where we offer a range of therapeutic and rehabilitative activities that include fitness, art and music therapy, reflexology and social activities. We provide information, advocacy, peer support to our brain injured members and their caring relatives. We also operate a befriending service that matches trained volunteers with members. We are actively involved in promoting the needs of people with ABI within the community, our goal being the development of comprehensive services and support for this particular group of people.
A brain injury can have devastating consequences for individuals and their families, affecting every aspect of life. Although we all think 'it'll never happen to me', a brain injury can affect anyone at any time. When it does, we're here to help. Visit www.edinburghheadway.org.uk
