Providing specialist support and cognitive rehab for adults affected by acquired brain injuries.

Headway Bath and District helps support individuals who have sustained a brain injury. Our current services are:

Outreach (1 to 1) rehab & support:
Our 1 to 1 outreach service uses 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 Sessions at the Percy Community Centre, Bath:
Every Tuesday and Friday 9:30am to 12:30pm. These sessions focus on cognitive rehab-based activities, that are carefully planned and tailored to suit the specific groups of clients attending. We provide a safe space for social and peer support, and a combination of different group-based and individual activities that are aimed at supporting rehabilitation and gaining/ regaining skills. Activity Group
Every Thursday 12:30pm to 2:30pm
We have a weekly activity group with a range of activities on offer. They are usually based out and about either doing walks (with a focus on improving mobility, orientation, memorising routes, improving confidence and road
safety when out in the community), or we arrange group visits to places of interest (e.g., exhibitions, galleries, café’s, community spaces etc). These sessions also promote independence and confidence when out in the community as well as encouraging social connection with peers.

💚 World Mental Health Day 2026 💚

Today is a reminder of just how important it is to look after our mental health and support those around us.

Living with an acquired brain injury can affect much more than physical health. It can also have a significant impact on emotional wellbeing, confidence and relationships.

At Headway Bath, we recognise the importance of connection, meaningful activities and having a supportive community. From our day centre sessions to group outings and shared experiences, these moments are an important part of what we do.

This World Mental Health Day, we want to remind everyone that mental health matters, and no one should have to face their challenges alone.

Our CEO and a fantastic Headway client were invited to join the BANES Intensive Service, part of Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust, for their Team Day.

The team wanted to learn more about acquired brain injury and how they can better understand and support people living with its effects. Our client shared his own experience of brain injury, while our CEO spoke about Headway Bath and the support we provide.

A big thank you to the BANES Intensive Service team for inviting us, and especially to our client for sharing his experience and helping to raise awareness and understanding of acquired brain injury.

The group focuses on supporting people to build greater independence and wellbeing, while exploring opportunities beyond Headway, including volunteering, social groups and adult learning courses.

As part of the sessions, the group has also been using personal values cards, looking at what is most important to them and thinking about their individual priorities and goals.
