We’d love to see more understanding of the importance of adult social care and investment in these vital services.

At Headway East London, we see the positive impact that adult social care has on our members’ lives every day, from our Community Support Workers helping members to live more independently, to our Therapy Service which supports members to adapt to their new lives after brain injury.

Working with our community of #BrainInjury survivors, you will co-produce content that shares our stories and broadens our reach.

You’ll be joining a mission-driven team where your work will make a real difference every day.

We will continue to work hard to ensure our members’ voices are represented, and that these policies work together to deliver the best outcomes possible for people living with #braininjury. 💪

We have already responded to the Government’s consultation on changes to the welfare
system, informed by our members’ experiences.

⏩ You can read some of their written responses on the images below ⏩

For 27 years #co-production has been at the core of how we work at Headway East London with our members – who are experts by experience in brain injury.

We will be reaching out to Stephen Timms – who is also the MP for East Ham – to see how we can contribute to this review.

Any changes to PIP will only take place after the #welfare minister, Stephen Timms, has conducted a review of the benefits system by Autumn 2026.

We welcome the government’s commitment to #co-produce the Timms review with disabled people.

The government’s own poverty analysis shows that despite these concessions, 150,000 of the most vulnerable people would end up in relative poverty as a result.

With 1.3 million people in the UK living with the effects of #braininjury it’s crucial that the impact of the changes are fully considered.

A massive thank you to staff members Paul and Sam who run the Hackney Half Marathon 2025 with George, Bethan, Richard and Lloyd.
