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.

We run an extensive and innovative timetable of activities and workshops all aimed towards the longer term rehabilitation after brain injury. We hope to help you with the educational, physical, social, cognitive, emotional and social aspects of your recovery.
