HEADWAY CARDIFF AND SOUTH EAST WALES 

We provide support and services to people with an acquired brain injury, their families and carers in south east Wales.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 27 years
