For too many people, surviving a brain injury isn’t where the fight ends, it’s where it begins.

Fight For Our Lives
Support brain injury survivors to live the life they fought for!
Anyone who has survived the trauma of a brain injury or stroke should be able to get the support they need to rebuild their shattered lives, no matter where they live.
But years of underinvestment in community rehabilitation services and a failure to implement national policy have left thousands of survivors and families feeling lost and abandoned on their recovery journey.
We are calling on all candidates in this year’s General Election to uphold the human rights of brain injury survivors and prioritise funding for vital rehabilitation, so that they can live the lives they fought for.
