Since 1987 Headway Thames Valley has been providing information, support and services to people in Berkshire and South Oxfordshire affected by brain injuries and their families.
So how did we start?
“There is no next”
Together with her husband Pat they spent weeks making the space usable and Headway Berkshire (now known as Headway Thames Valley) was officially opened on 6th October 1987. It soon turned into a thriving day centre for local people with a brain injury.
Over 30 years have gone by since. Roseanne, Pat, and her son Lindsay have all sadly passed away, but their legacy lives on. Headway Thames Valley is still here supporting people in Berkshire and South Oxfordshire with life after brain injury.
Hospitals do a remarkable job and there are more and more people surviving brain injury every year but it’s down to organisations like Headway Thames Valley to work with individuals and their families to enable them to live as fulfilling and independent life as they possibly can once they are home.
