History of Headway Luton
In the 1990s, a group of local people came together to find support for their loved one or friend who had an acquired brain injury. There were no specific local services for people with an ABI back then. Over the decades Headway Luton has grown thanks to the founders, volunteers, trustees, fundraisers, funders and clients.
We aim to:
- Enable clients to live as independently as possible.
- Maximise clients’ full potential, increase their personal skills and opportunities for social interaction.
- Provide a wide range of educational, cognitive and social activities to meet the needs of the client.
- Support family members and carers by offering advocacy, advice, information and emotional support.
- Advocate and lobby for the development of appropriate professional services by all statutory and voluntary organisations for our client group.
- Create a wider understanding of brain injury within the community through training, presentations and promotions.
- Recruit, train and manage a bank of skilled volunteers.
- Secure sustainable funding and other resources to further our aims and objectives.
