HEADWAY DERBY 

A small award winning charity led by and delivered for people affected by brain injury; offering wraparound support, education and rehabilitation to people primarily across the Derby, South Derbyshire and East Staffs area. Services are complementary by design and form a critical aspect of the non-clinical recovery pathway of hundreds of people through the delivery of 1:1 and community activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 19 years
