Information Library

📚 Supporting You Every Step of the Way: Explore the Headway Information Library

At Headway Huddersfield and District, we know that life after brain injury can feel overwhelming. Whether you're a survivor, a family member, or a carer, having access to clear, compassionate information can make all the difference.

That’s why we’re proud to share the Headway UK Information Library—a trusted resource designed to support you through every stage of recovery and adjustment. Covering a wide range of topics, the library offers practical guidance, emotional insight, and expert advice tailored to the real-life challenges faced by our community.

🧠 What’s Inside the Library?

The library is divided into eight easy-to-navigate sections:

• About Brain Injury – Understand the causes, types, and impact of brain injury

• Effects of Brain Injury – Learn about cognitive, emotional, and physical changes

• Employment and Education – Explore your rights and options for returning to work or study

• Family Issues and Relationships – Find support for navigating changes in personal dynamics

• Legal Issues – Get informed about capacity, compensation, and advocacy

• Practical Issues – Discover tips for daily living, driving, and housing

• Translated Information – Access key resources in multiple languages

• Welfare Benefits – Understand the financial support available to you

• 
  

All of these resources are available online via Headway UK’s website, but we know that not everyone finds digital access easy—or personal.

🏡 Local Access at Our Monthly Drop-In

To make this information even more accessible, we offer printed copies of key resources at our Monthly Drop-In Session, held at:

Lindley Methodist Church Centre, East Street, Lindley, Huddersfield1st Wednesday of every month 7:00pm – 9:00pm

Whether you’re looking for guidance, connection, or simply a friendly face, our drop-in is a welcoming space where you can browse the library, ask questions, and chat with others who understand.
