Brain injuries often affect more than the person recovering - they create a ripple effect that touches family, friends and their entire support networks.

Before we get ready to enjoy the holiday season and ring in an exciting New Year ahead, we wanted to take this moment to thank our brilliant SameYou supporters, volunteers, fundraisers, partners and allies.

As part of SameYou's role as a founding member of the World Health Organization's World Rehabilitation Alliance, we are marking Universal Health Coverage day, December 12, with a commitment to supporting this important foundation of healthcare each and every day.

SameYou Advocate, Chiara Beer, took part in a panel discussion focused on young stroke survivors at the UK Stroke Forum, outlining the challenges to healthcare professionals.

Brain injury happens in an instant. It doesn’t just happen to the brain but to the whole person - and everyone around them. Whether it's a one-time or recurring gift, your contribution through SameYou's Gift Appeal supports our vision to transform the way brain injury survivors and their loved ones are helped through emotional, mental health and cognitive recovery services.

Chris Moon was just 29, fit and healthy, when he suffered a stroke.

But despite being upbeat at the start of his battle back to full health, he quickly found the aftercare is seriously inadequate for young stroke survivors – which is often seen as a disease of the elderly.

It’s hard to imagine just what a difference having the right support when you leave hospital can make to your recovery. The Right To Rehab campaign, which calls for everyone in the UK to have access to effective rehabilitation, has launched a new immersive digital experience that allows you to find out. Let your MP know about this important campaign.

A pioneering online rehabilitation service that was piloted by SameYou and University College London during the pandemic when brain injury survivors were being discharged from acute care prematurely to free up bed spaces, has been shortlisted for a national award.

SameChat, our peer mentoring support program that we run in partnership with Sphere Rehabilitation, has undergone some essential changes to ensure we support more people with their recovery.

The UK Stroke Forum is UK's largest multidisciplinary conference for stroke care professionals. The conference is taking place from December 3 to 5 2024, at ACC Liverpool.
