Social & Support Groups

Headway Cambridgeshire facilitate a number of social and support groups across the county. The aim of the social groups is to provide a relaxed environment within the community where individuals with a brain injury, family, partners and carers can meet to enjoy a meal or a drink, meet new people and share experiences and support.

We have specifically chosen venues that are welcoming, accessible, wheelchair and child friendly and offer value for money.

All social groups are facilitated either by a Headway Cambridgeshire member of staff or a volunteer who has a first hand experience of caring for someone with a brain injury.
