Headway Newry recognised by the Inland Revenue as a charity dedicated to supporting people with brain injury, their families and carers. We support people mainly from the Newry & Mourne area as well as Banbridge and other areas.
We promote a wider understanding of all aspects of brain injury and provide information, support and social activities for people living with brain injury, their families and carers. We are led by carers and brain injury survivors.
What We Do
At present Headway Newry is concentrating on providing support by way of social events, recreational activities and information services.
