We are delighted to share that our Network Manager, Sam Ashcroft, has been featured in the latest edition of Power of Women Magazine.
In the exclusive interview, Sam reflects on her personal journey to Headway and the passion that drives her work supporting local people living with acquired brain injury across Blackpool, Wyre & Fylde.
The feature shines a light on the realities of life after brain injury, highlighting the many hidden challenges survivors and their families face every day. From memory problems and fatigue to changes in confidence, emotions and relationships, brain injury affects every aspect of a person’s life – yet many of these struggles remain invisible to others.
Sam also shares why emotional support and community are at the heart of everything we do at Headway. Through peer support, practical advice, social activities and a welcoming environment, we help people rebuild confidence, regain independence and reconnect with their communities.
The interview includes a powerful real-life story demonstrating how the right support can transform lives, offering hope to individuals and families navigating the challenges of brain injury.
We would like to thank Claudine Hope and the team at Power of Women Magazine for giving us the opportunity to raise awareness of acquired brain injury and to showcase the resilience, strength and determination of the people we are privileged to support.
By sharing these stories, we hope more people will understand that no one should face life after brain injury alone and that support is available.
