Behind that staggering figure are people whose lives have changed. A brain injury can affect far more than someone’s physical health. It can impact relationships, independence, work, confidence, mental wellbeing and everyday life; often in ways that aren’t immediately visible. Those effects can be felt by families and loved ones too. The £91.5bn figure shows just how significant the human impact of ABI is, and why access to the right support and rehabilitation matters.
