Our Services

Outreach

A 1-to-1 rehab & support service, using a person-centred and outcomes-based approach to support brain injury survivors to regain independence, thus enabling a better quality of life, reducing social isolation and decline in cognitive functioning.

Day Centre

These sessions focus on cognitive rehab-based activities, that are carefully planned and tailored to suit the specific groups of clients attending. We currently run two half day sessions per week on Tuesday and Friday mornings (9.30am – 12.30pm)

Activities

We have a weekly activity group on Thursdays, which is usually based out and about either doing walks (with a
focus on brain recovery tasks), adapted exercise, or we arrange group visits to places of interest (e.g., exhibitions, galleries, café’s, community spaces etc).

We are affiliated to Headway – the Brain Injury Association. However we operate as a local service provider and hold our own registered charity status (#1207519).
