Headway North Lanarkshire Is a charity set up to give help and support to people affected by brain injury in the North lanarkshire area of Scotland.  

We are a group run by a dedicated committee, at present we hold weekly meetings in the Volunteer Centre in Wishaw, North   Lanarkshire (84 Main Street ml2 7ab ) every Thursday between 12 noon until 3:30pm. we run various activities to help and support both A.B.I and their carers all activities are supervised by our dedicated carers and volunteers.

Many of our members benefit from activities which assist with motor coordination and stimulation, we are now setting about the task of organising some events to acquire games and equipment that would benefit our members and improve mobility.    

Headway North Lanarkshire has improved basic communication skills which  promote good team work among our members and social interaction.

We are always looking for ways to improve and broaden our member’s skills and abilities.

The aim of our group is to increase awareness of (A. B. I. ) Headway North Lanarkshire members are very enthusiastic to try new skills ,every week I see them achieving more, being more confident and creative in what they do, they are also gaining more self confidence and determination as they learn new skills. 

It can be a very demanding and stressful job for a carer so we also like the carer to come along and join in with other carers and get to know others in a similar situation which may in turn be beneficial to them.

As we are a self help support group we are always on the lookout for new help and support no matter how small.
