Headway Derby

Headway Derby Support and rehabilitation services for people with brain injury, their families and carers

As an organisation we work closely with professionals from the NHS Head Injury Team based at Florence Nightingale Hospital, GP’s, Adult Social Care and Derby City Council, as well as with individuals and families. Our professional and experienced team are always on hand to offer advice and non-clinical rehabilitation and development to help improve life after brain injury. We aim to provide practi

cal development services to help local people come to terms with life after brain injury. This support extends to a variety of social and developmental activities and training for those who want to know more about brain injury and its affects. We are affiliated to, but separate from the national brain injury association - Headway UK.

The group will resume as normal next week (with hopefully better weather! 🌦️)

We said another goodbye to one of our students today. Suko has been with us for the last 10 weeks as part of her Occupational Therapy degree and we are really sad to see her go ❤️

She’s been a brilliant support at Headway Derby and we wish her so much luck for the future!

How gorgeous is our allotment looking?! 🍃

Last Friday the group were busy harvesting the last of our summer produce, and planning what autumn and winter veg we will be growing next 🥕🥬

It is lovely to see all the hard work paying off, and the allotment continuing to thrive as we head into another season 💜

🌻 Welcome, September! 🌻

A new month means new opportunities to make a difference.

At Headway Derby, every day we see the strength, resilience, and determination of people living with acquired brain injuries. This September, we'll continue working alongside our members and their families, providing specialist support, social connection, and opportunities to regain independence.

Thank you to everyone who helps make our work possible. Together, we're creating a community where nobody has to face life after brain injury alone.

It's that time of year again where we ask our wonderful supporters to consider joining Headway Derby's annual subscribing membership! ✨
Each year in August our subscribing memberships renew, and we ask not only previous subscribing members to re-join, but also encourage new subscribing members.
Being a subscribing member allows you to vote in our Annual General Meeting (AGM), usually held each December, as well as any Extraordinary General Meetings (EGM) that might occur throughout the year.

Each year, we hope to encourage new people to join us, as not only does this make sure our AGM and financial accounts are heard and voted on by a variety of people, but also supports the charities income at the same time!

The annual subscribing fee for this year is £15, and sup[ports the running costs of the charity, and our mission of improving life after brain injury.

To become a subscribing member, please complete this online form ➡ https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/6sADtnyzce

To make payment, you can use Headway Derby's bank details listed on the form above, or you can pay through this link ➡ https://pay.gocardless.com/BRT01M07F79PZV81N664ZYXJGYE8S

Thank you in advance for choosing to support Headway Derby 💜

🍷🍹🍸Ahead of our 'Behind the Mask Ball' which is now just over 7 weeks away, we want to extend our thanks to Affinity Law Limited for their sponsorship of our welcome drinks.

Without support such as this, we simply wouldn't be able to run our Black Tie Balls each year. ✨

A HUGE happy early 18th birthday to our wonderful amazing Henna 🥰🤩🥳🎁

We can't believe Henna was just 16 when she started her apprentice with us, and now she's turning 18 and almost completed her Level 3 Apprentice in Business Administration!

Happy 18th Birthday Henna ❤️

We are still desperately seeking an awards sponsor for our upcoming 'Behind the Mask' Black Tie Ball taking place on Friday 16th October 2026 ✨

Can you support our event, and those receiving our awards this year? Each year we give out two awards, The Christine Lane Award, in memory of the Late Christine Lane who was a founding member of Headway Derby, and the Special Recognition Award.

If you can support in anyway, even the sponsorship of one award we would be extremely grateful!

Ensuring these costs are covered means that everything raised on he night goes towards our mission of improving life after brain injury. If you are able to support with this sponsorship, please get in touch with Emma on [email protected].

Thank you 💜
