RADIO WEST NORFOLK’S CHARITY OF THE MONTH
Headway Norfolk and Waveney is an independent brain injury charity. We support people, carers, and families whose lives have been affected by an acquired brain injury, including stroke. Every penny raised by us is spent here in Norfolk for benefit of our local community.
Our focus is to provide all our clients with the right level of expert and caring support & to help those affected by an ABI manage to effects and achieve the best life possible.

Brain injury can affect anyone. We support people with traumatic and acquired brain injury including strokes, their families and carers to regain confidence and overcome challenges. We promote independence and rehabilitation, providing information and support services directly to those in need.
