Name a Neuron

What Does “Name a Neuron” Mean?

We are looking for businesses or indivuiduals to sponsor a name of a neuron. By doing this you will:

- Help someone affected by brain injury rebuild their life
- Support local rehabilitation, wellbeing, and peer support services
- Become part of a growing Neural-Network of Support in Worcestershire

Each sponsored neuron represents hope, recovery, and connection—just like neurons in the brain.

In gratitude of your generosity, we will give you a social media shoutout and give you a special thank you on our website.

What is a Neuron?

A neuron is a brain cell—one of roughly 68 billion in the human brain—that enables it to send and receive messages. Through these neurons, our brain is able to:

- Move our bodies
- Speak and understand words
- Remember people and events
- Think, feel, and make decisions

Every time you take a step, smile at a friend, or remember a favourite song, neurons are working together to make that happen.

Why Neurons Are Important After Brain Injury

When someone has a brain injury, neurons can become damaged or stop communicating properly. This can affect everyday life—things many of us take for granted.

With the right support, therapy, and time, the brain can begin to rebuild pathways and strengthen connections. That’s where Headway Worcestershire comes in—supporting people to reconnect, regain skills, and rebuild confidence after brain injury.
