Edinburgh Headway Group

Edinburgh Headway Group Supporting adults with acquired brain injuries and their families for over 30 years. http://www.edin SC006528

We provide high quality person-centred rehabilitation services which support both adults with brain injuries and their carers. We know that brain injury can affect personalities as well as a person’s cognitive and physical abilities. Brain injury affects who we are - the way we think, act and feel.A brain injury can have a life changing effect on the individual, their families and carers. Some people will need to deal with significant and on-going difficulties with their memory, concentration, communication, emotions, behaviour, change of personalities as well as physical disability. These individuals may also face barriers when trying to re-enter the workplace and the wider community. We believe that everyone has something to contribute within Edinburgh Headway Group and the wider community – that every person with a brain injury should be valued, respected and deserves every opportunity to live a full and active life.

Our first-ever Open Day at EHG was a great success! 🎉

On the 7th of November, we opened our doors to welcome visitors and showcase the work we do here at EHG.

Throughout the day, visitors took part in mindful art in the sensory room, empathy exercises, cognitive activities, and a presentation on brain injury. 🧠

A big thank you to our members who created beautiful door signs for the event, and our volunteers who supported throughout - including helping prepare some delicious cookies in our cooking group.

Thank you to Thompsons Solicitors for sponsoring the day, providing goodie bags, and a lovely lunch for everyone. 💙

The Fruitmarket Gallery is a bright, contemporary art space for local and international exhibitions.

National Head Injury Conference 2025 💙

On Thursday 18th September we attended the National Head Injury conference in Glasgow. We attended a range of inspiring talks and insightful workshops led by experts and individuals with lived experience. 🗣️

Our team was proud to host our own exhibit stall, connecting with professionals, survivors, and families affected by brain injury.

We wrapped up the day with a creative workshop, bringing people together for reflection and expression🎨

Thank you to everyone who stopped by - we loved meeting you and sharing our work! 🧠
