- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In August, the charity launched a new five-year strategy having conducted a comprehensive consultation exercise involving brain injury survivors, carers and family members, the network of local Headway charities and branches, professionals working in the field of brain injury, and other key stakeholders.”
- “Headway held its second annual Network Day in London in October.”
- “the charity successfully launched the Community of Headway Trustees, with 104 trustees from across the network involved.”
- “A key project in 2024, was the North Wales Police Pilot Project, which integrates the Headway Brain Injury Identity Card with a Police Unique Reference Number (URN).”
- “In May, Headway launched its ABI Week awareness campaign. The campaign, A Life Re-written, illustrated how brain injury can affect anyone at any time, focussing particularly on how it throws plans into disarray, changes life goals, and even the sense of who we are.”
- “In May, ahead of the General Election, the charity launched its first ever manifesto, From Awareness to Action: Demanding Better Care for People Affected by Brain Injury.”
