How your gifts supported survivors
- We brought the huge problem of finding a job after brain injury to the House of Commons through our partnership with the Big Issue to help survivors and their carers to return to work.
- We listened, and we expanded our SameChat peer support programme, now offering both partnerships support for pairs and to groups, to reach more survivors and their loved ones.
- We added new resources to aid recovery.
- We gave a voice to those who struggle to be heard by publishing more than 60 survivor stories and launched Return to Work stories.
- We partnered with Mount Sinai Health System, New York to work on a training programme for the public to help solve the issue of lack of rehabilitation specialists.
- Our Neuro Recovery Directory has grown to help more survivors and their families to find support locally.
- We joined the UK Stroke Forum, a coalition of 31 organisations who are all committed to improving care and shared the experiences of our community and global specialists we work with.
- We have created a new research section, working with universities, organisations and healthcare providers, for survivors and their loved ones to get involved with shaping the future of neurological rehabilitation – and to access the latest support.
- Our pioneering one-to-many online Neurorehabilitation programme with the NHS was shortlisted for a national award.
- Jenny spoke on World Stroke Day to outline how we are failing young stroke survivors with poor recovery support, with coverage featured on ITV News, the Daily Mail and the Independent.
