Here in Sussex, thousands of people are living with the life-changing effects of brain injuries, yet many struggle to find the support they need to rebuild their lives.
At Headway Sussex, we provide vital services to help people navigate life after brain injury. However, we are now facing significant challenges in funding our Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Navigators, a crucial service that ensures brain injury survivors and their families receive the guidance, advocacy, and emotional support they need.
Why ABI Navigators Are Essential
ABI Navigators are dedicated volunteers, specially trained to offer one-to-one support, guiding individuals towards essential services, rehabilitation, and emotional well-being programmes. They help ensure that no one faces the challenges of brain injury alone. However, our ability to launch this vital programme is currently at risk. Without urgent funding, many survivors could be left isolated, confused, and struggling to access the right support.
The Reality of Brain Injury in Sussex
- Sussex hospitals treat over 5,000 brain injury cases every year.
- Brain injuries can result from strokes, road accidents, assaults, falls, and other causes.
- Many survivors experience memory loss, cognitive impairment, and mental health challenges, making it difficult to return to work or daily life.
- Demand for brain injury support services in Sussex has surged, but resources remain critically low.
We need to raise £25,000 to fund this vital service for a year.
Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in the lives of brain injury survivors across Sussex.
How You Can Help
- Donate today: A one-off or monthly donation can make a huge difference.
- Fundraise for us: Host an event, take on a challenge, or organise a workplace fundraiser.
- Share our campaign: Help spread the word on social media and encourage others to support us.
Every penny brings us closer to launching this vital programme. With your support, we can secure the funds needed to ensure that no one in Sussex has to navigate brain injury alone.
