Many carers quietly make an extraordinary difference every day.

Whether caring for a partner, parent, sibling, friend or other loved one, many people find themselves taking on a caring role overnight after a brain injury changes life in an instant.

Their support, compassion and dedication can have a life-changing impact on brain injury survivors and their families.

Building carer-friendly communities means creating opportunities for carers to share experiences and access support. Our Headway groups provide welcoming spaces where carers can connect with others who understand the realities of caring and find support when they need it most.

This week, and every week, we see you.

Behind every person living with a brain injury, there is often someone providing care and support every day.

This Carers Week, we're recognising the incredible contribution carers make to families and communities across the UK.

We also want to highlight that caring can be isolating. Through our recent ABI Week campaign, 'We See You', 85% of carers surveyed said they feel lonely following their loved one's injury.
