Action on Brain Injury Week - 'A Life of Lockdown?'

A life of lockdown? focuses on social isolation after brain injury, a problem we know has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Here's how to get involved...

Volunteer with us

What could you do with three hours? Watch three episodes of the latest must-see series. Go out for a meal. Interact on social media. All very enjoyable to do, but will any of those positively impact your local community and simultaneously enhance your sense of self-worth? Volunteering with Headway Nottingham will, and three hours a week is all we need from you.
Referrals

At Headway Nottingham we accept referrals from all sources, be that a self referral to a referral from a professional health or social care worker. Once the referral is made we will make contact with the individual or their carer and work with them to formulate a suitable plan of progression.
Outreach

Our Outreach Worker is likely to be the first person you will meet from Headway Nottingham as they handle all new referrals. Our Outreach Worker will aim to visit you at home within one month and work with you to formulate a plan to help you progress.
