HEREFORDSHIRE HEADWAY 

We are concerned with all aspects of the care and rehabilitation of adults with acquired brain injury. We also provide help and support for the families and carers of those with acquired brain injury.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

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