Grace Eyre Woodhead (24 February 1864 – 5 April 1936) was a British philanthropist and mental health reformer.

She looked after people all her life and the organisation she created, the Guardianship Society, is now known as the Grace Eyre Foundation.

Her father was a Major, an agent for the navy, and he and Emily (born Clements) Woodhead had eleven children (One source says 12[1]).

Woodhead arranged for them to have holidays in Heathfield, East Sussex using, at times, her home in Hove.

[2] By 1898 the organisation began to take shape[1] although the name of the Guardianship Society was formally registered in line with the Mental Deficiency Act of 1913.
