Making headway in brain injury recovery
Every 58 minutes, someone in Essex is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury. They need support once they are discharged from hospital and Headway Essex has 38 years’ experience providing this.
Now people living in South Essex, will have access to a new daycentre in Benfleet. Read about the services they offer here.

Community groups and charities working in Braintree district can apply for small or large grants to help them tackle a wide range of social issues.
The funding comes from the Braintree District and Eastlight Community Fund, which has already provided more than £1 million to local communities.
