20 Oct
Summary
- SameYou raised over £3.8 million for brain injury recovery.
- Over 1,200 survivors accessed online rehabilitation.
- Charity recognized with NHS Excellence Award 2026.
Actress Emilia Clarke co-founded the brain injury recovery charity SameYou in 2019.
Her personal experience with brain haemorrhages inspired the initiative to improve rehabilitation access. SameYou has since raised over £3.8 million, funding research and training.
The charity's NeuroRehabilitation Online (NROL) program, co-created with UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, has supported over 1,200 survivors. This online rehabilitation model offers group sessions via video calls.
In May 2026, NROL earned the NHS Excellence Award for Patient Involvement and Choice. SameYou continues to expand support beyond hospital discharge.
SameYou relies on donations and collaborates with healthcare organizations to develop practical recovery solutions. Its efforts aim to assist survivors in rebuilding their lives, relationships, and confidence after neurological events.
