All our workshops are aimed at improving cognitive skills, behavior and self confidence, and learning new skills, and having fun in a safe, social environment. our day service is open to anyone who is aged between 16 and 70 and resides in the county of Northamptonshire. We also offer support to the relatives and friends of our Service Users.
Our staff are experienced and motivated in offering help and support within the unit. we intend to lead by example, whether this is through appropriate dress and behaviour, or being part of a group enjoying the company of others.
We also offer a selection of homemade food for lunch as well as a takeaway service. All of the food is at a low cost to Service Users.
We take referrals from any professional who is working with the brain injured person, and also from relatives, carers, and the brain injured person themselves.
Once we have received a referral, Headway Northampton aims to respond within 7 working days. An appointment will be offered to come to the unit and look around,to see what we do.
During the visit we will complete our own brief assesment so that we can establish what support will be needed within the unit, what workshops we feel would be suitable and what help we can give.
The offered placement will be subject to funding. Our Charity Number is 1158332
