| About Headway Jersey |
|
Most Islanders have heard of Headway Jersey the brain injury charity and think it is a wonderful cause but how many know what it actually does? Starting as a small support group for a few families Headway Jersey has grown dramatically over recent years to become an organisation with over 100 local survivors of brain injury on its books. But we know there are more local people that we are not yet helping. They require a wide variety of support and the demands on the charity are growing significantly year on year. Brain injuries come about for a wide variety of reasons including accidents, strokes, tumours, illnesses and even mosquito bites. Everyone is at risk regardless of age or social standing. The effects on the individual and their families are dramatic. Most will require some form of assistance. How would you feel if your child, partner or family member couldn’t remember who you are, where they live or even who they are married to? Many survivors of brain injury experience a lack of confidence. We provide support in a number of ways including the provision of a calm, supportive environment with regular social events both in the Headway Centre at Le Coie and outside accompanied visits to help them reintegrate back to normality. This support has been essential for some but others have different needs. For this reason each brain injury survivor is assessed to see how we are able to help and what services are appropriate.
