You've spent months in hospital, in ICU, in rehabilitation with a team of clinicians around you and suddenly you're all alone.
Headway Devon works alongside around 100 people every week, but there are more individuals who go home alone without knowing about the charity's services.
Thanks to the support of Thompsons Solicitor's, MAPS Benevolent Trust, and the Players of the Postcode Lottery, Headway Devon can now provide support in hospitals.
