We believe in being transparent, wit hour clients, with colleagues and with members of the public. We want YOU to know where your money is being used and how much our events raised!
From charity runs to wearing a silly hat, there are many ways that you can get involved and help us improve the lives of those who have been affected by brain injury. Join us in making a difference today!

We have a number of annual events throughout the year that YOU can easily get involved in. See below for more details and have a look at our events calendar for dates!
Hats For Headway Milton Keynes
This year our event is running throughout the whole of May!
Hats for Headway aims to raise awareness about brain injury by inviting everyone to wear a hat, big or small, silly or smart. The event aims to show support to those living with disabilities after brain injury, by wearing wacky hats.
This year we are running a month long competition from the 1st May to the 25th May. Everyone who takes a photo in a hat and tag's us via Facebook, using the #hatsforbrains, will be entered into our hamper competition. If you don't like using social media, or don't own a hat, you can visit our photobooth on the 22nd and 23rd May (details below).
Anyone can get involved and we urge you to spread the word. Your photos will be shared on our website and social media, plus you could win a hamper filled with lots of goodies: A morrisons gift card, a surprise bag from Tiger, a bottle of prosecco, and much more for just a £1 donation and hat picture!
All we ask is that you donate £1 to our just giving fundraiser. Our target of £3000 will allow 5 service users to attend once a week for 6 months worth of brain injury rehabilitation.

Annual Events
Walk a Mile in my Shoes
This year our Walk a Mile event is on the 7th August
Walk a Mile in my Shoes aims to spread awareness about brain injury and the difficulties experienced by individuals. The event aims to shed positive light on achievements, big or small, or walking one mile.
The event calls for members of the public to sponsor our service users or join us and walk a mile with us, learning about brain injury and having fun along the way.
This year we are walking the entire length of the Centre:MK which is exactly a mile long, we plan to end at Headway Milton Keynes premises were there will be a celebratory brunch with tea, coffee and well deserved cake.
We will be starting our walk from Marks and Spencer and conduct a mile long hunt for brains. More details to follow soon.
