https://headway.ie/resources/our-oasis-song/ Our team in Headway Cork are really proud of their new song. It's called "Our Oasis" and tells of life following brain injury. A quote from Esther-Anna in our Cork team:

"The Cork Headway Choir is more than music—it’s connection, confidence, and healing. It’s where friendships form, loneliness fades, and voices are found again. We’re thrilled to share Our Oasis, an original song born from the reflections of our clients and brought to life with music from Oliver Keane. This heartfelt piece tells the story of life after brain injury, the first steps into Headway, and the vibrant community that follows. Featuring solos, ukuleles, and even a kazoo, Our Oasis is a celebration of resilience and togetherness.

Our Oasis: Life after injury expressed in song We’re proud to share something very close to our hearts: an original song called Our Oasis. […]

🧠✨ Banner Brains – A Creative Exhibition ✨🧠
De Valera Library - Monday 29 September

The most amazing morning was had for the opening of our Ennis clients art exhibition: Banner Brains: Still In Clare – A Story of Recovery, Identity, and Place.

Through expressive canvas paintings, participants explore life before and after brain injury. One half of each painting represents the confusion or fragmentation of early recovery, while the other half reflects healing, resilience, and reconnection with self and place.

The project is supported by De Valera Library, Ennis, and Creative Ireland, and is available to view until Monday 13 October.

Special thanks to Donna McGettigan, TD; Cllr. Paul Murphy, Mayor of Clare; Cllr. Mary Howard, Mayor of Ennis; and Cllr. Tommy Guilfoyle, who attended the launch.
