We are Headway Somerset and we are working to improve life after brain injury
Story
This is our third year competing as a team in the dragon boat race, and we're hoping to do even better! Over the last two years, Mind in Taunton & West Somerset (TWS) have:
helped support over 50 families following the loss of a loved one
supported 5 peer support groups from social interaction, to confidence building, to those bereaved by suicide
delivered over 50 mental health first aid courses
answered over 6000 contacts to their helpline
Headway Somerset offers support to those who have had a brain injury. Donations to our team will be split 50:50 between these two worthy causes.
Headway Somerset is a unique organisation helping people to live as independent a life as possible after brain injury, providing specialist support and therapy at its 3 Brain Injury Outreach Units. It provides essential respite care for family members who may end up being full-time unpaid carers.
