Carers' Support

Carers' support in Cambridge

Headway Cambridgeshire's Carers' Support Group meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 7.15 pm at Headway House in Cambridge.

The group is run by people who have experienced brain injury at first hand and are able to offer their knowledge and understanding of the difficulties faced by both the brain injured person and their family and carers.

The group meets once a month and provides an opportunity for carers to get together to chat, give each other support, exchange information and organise social events.

The group has a guest speaker at most of the meetings, covering a wide range of topics. Speakers in the past have included Neuro Psychologists, Social Workers and Occupational Therapists who have provided technical and medical information. Other speakers have been of a more general interest, for instance, aromatherapy and games evenings. Anyone who is affected by a brain injury is welcome to attend.

If you would like more information please contact Candy Hodge, the organiser of the group:
