Headway Portsmouth and South East Hampshire has been a registered charity since 1986. We became an incorporated charity limited by guarantee in 2001.

We provide support to people with brain injury and other forms of acquired brain injury, their family members, carers, and interested professionals.

Although affiliated to the national charity, Headway Portsmouth and South East Hampshire is a separate and independent charity not funded by Headway UK. We rely entirely on our own funded contracts, grants and income generated through donations, fundraising and the trading of our two charity shops.

We support those affected by brain injury to understand, adapt and accept the changes brain injury brings to their lives enabling them to achieve maximum independence within their own community.
