💙 Tomorrow is International Day of Charity 💙

Every day, charities across the world work to make a difference in the lives of others — and here at Headway Swindon, we’re proud to support clients affected by brain injury, along with their families and carers.

From rehabilitation and therapeutic activities to peer support, social connection and helping clients regain confidence and independence, every bit of support makes a difference. 🧠💙

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who supports our work — whether you donate, fundraise, volunteer, share our posts or simply help spread awareness of brain injury.

Thank you for helping us make a difference. 💙
