Brain injury can be caused at any time in your life. The result is that you may not be able to do the things you used to do.  Your personality may have changed.  So, if you have experienced a stroke, heart attack, brain tumour, encephalitis, aneurysm, etc, or a traumatic injury such as a road traffic collision, sporting injury, work incident, trip or fall, assault come and see us.

Enjoy a cup of tea/coffee, talk to our knowledgeable staff, talk to others, play a game of pool, play a board game or cards, sit in our small garden, read the newspaper.  All welcome. 

FREE OF CHARGE - Cash or card donations encouraged for tea, coffee, biscuits and cake.

It's helpful but not essential if you can let us know you are coming in advance enquiries@headwaysurrey.org 

PARKING    If you have a blue badge, please let us know in advance.  We have 5 parking spaces Bays A-E outside the centre and there are additional on street free parking spaces in North Road, Stoughton Road and Stoughton Barracks. 

VOLUNTEERS   We would like a couple of friendly people to make tea and coffee for our visitors.  It's a great role and you get to meet all sorts of people.

Occasionally we will have a walking group instead, at a different location.  eg. Godalming, Woking, Guildford, Cobham, RHS Wisley.  It is usually about 1 mile on a flat and disability friendly route, so it is suitable for those with walking aids and wheelchairs.  The walk incorporates a refreshment stop.

The staff and volunteers will be there to meet you from 10.30am for 10.45am start. Finishing at approximately 12noon.  If you are unable to manage the walk but would like to meet us at the refreshment stop for a spot of socialising, we can try to accommodate. The locations we pick normally have free parking, disabled parking, public toilets, seating and refreshment facilities.  We will be collecting donations on the day for Headway Surrey (cash preferred, however card reader will be available).

The Walking Group is suitable for those with acquired brain injury, family, friends, their children and well behaved dogs on short leads.
