A brain injury association in Kent is launching two new drop-in venues this month.

Headway in West Kent seeks to promote understanding of all aspects of brain injury and at a local level, provide information, support and services.

It is launching to new venues in Maidstone and Edenbridge.

The drop-in is a social space for people over the age of 18 who have been affected by a brain injury.

Visitors are welcome to stop for a drink and a chat with people with similar life experiences.

Families, carers and friends are also welcome to attend.

A wide range of information will be available with staff and volunteers on hand to give advice and signpost to alternative Headway services and external organisations.

There will be a regular programme of speakers to provide specialist information

The atmosphere is informal and relaxed, with just a small donation for refreshments.

Drop In venue, time and dates:

Maidstone: Last Thursday of every month from Thursday, May 28, 10.30am to 12.30pm at Trinity Foyer, 20 Church Street.

Edenbridge: First Wednesday of every month from Wednesday, May 6, 1.30pm-3.30pm at The Eden Centre, Four Elms Road.
