Headway Rotherham
Headway Rotherham supports adults living with acquired brain injury across Rotherham and South Yorkshire, helping people rebuild confidence, independence, and financial stability after life‑changing events such as stroke, trauma, illness, or accident.
Project Overview
Brain injury often leads to an abrupt loss of employment, decreased income, increased household expenses, and a long-term reliance on caregivers. Many of our members experience financial difficulties, social isolation, and limited access to community life. Our service provides the stability, structure, and support necessary to prevent crises and help individuals regain control of their lives.
We aim to deliver a community-based rehabilitation program that fosters social connections and promotes well-being for adults in Rotherham living with the lasting effects of brain injury. Our offerings include:
- Weekly group sessions focused on cognitive stimulation, confidence-building, and social interaction
- Creative and therapeutic activities such as art, cooking, music, and gentle exercise
- Community outings to combat isolation and help rebuild independence
- One-on-one emotional support for survivors and their caregivers
- Practical guidance and advocacy to assist individuals in accessing benefits, services, and stability
This project directly supports those who often fall through the cracks—individuals whose brain injuries have left them feeling isolated, anxious, and struggling with daily tasks.

Young people today can struggle to gain essential workplace life skills due to school systems that some young people find challenging, with rapid changes in technology and a lack of real-world work experience. This project directly addresses a charitable purpose by advancing education, promoting digital inclusion, and fostering the personal development of young people, some of whom may be disadvantaged due to their personal socioeconomic situation. The project provides structured, non-formal learning in media literacy, journalism, technical audio production, and communication. This goes far beyond standard school curricula.
Share Bristol
At Share Bristol our vision is that everybody shares, so we’re making it easier for everyone in Bristol to borrow everyday things they don’t need every day – tools, camping equipment, party kits, games, kitchen gadgets and so much more. We help people to save money, save space in their homes, and live more sustainably, reducing their impact on the environment through our community-led Library of Things.
