- SameYou co-founders Emilia and Jenny Clarke have both been awarded an MBE for services to People with Brain Injuries in the King’s New Year’s Honours list.
Emilia helped to smash the stigma around brain injury in young adults after speaking publicly about surviving two brain haemorrhages - which led to thousands of young survivors around the world finally speaking out about their own battles and revealing that access to rehabilitation is shockingly inadequate and it must be made available to those who need it.

LOVE YOU EMILIA X I HOPE TO MEET YOU ONE DAY… FYI I’M TYPING IN CAPS LOCK BECAUSE IT CONVEYS MY HAPPINESS.
I am glad to see you being recognized for the work you are doing. More importantly, that the work itself is having such an impact that now you have been awarded the MBE!! Amazing work and amazing people! Well done, and congratulations!
Congratulations! I just recently discovered your charity, and will start contributing in the new year.
The list is medieval and has no place in this century. The UK has its "frugal" royal family (that the BBC NEVER allows readers to comment on ) exempt from paying income and inheritance tax, and its medals order of the British Empire (OBE), and MBE, for an empire that no longer exists
Or you could accept, whatever your own beliefs (and I am not a royalist), that two people who have been through horrendous personal circumstances, have taken those lived experiences and turned them into something positive, proactive, and life changing for themselves and others, and been recognised for it.
As a TBI survivor I already know what amazing work Same You is doing, and I wish there had been something like that when I was going through my recovery. I don't need to see letters after Jenny and Emilia names to know that they are doing amazing work, but they are right in saying it helps raise awareness and promotes the work they are doing.
If you feel so strongly, then do something that gets you offered an MBE so you can stand by your principles and turn it down, but please don't undermine the incredible achievements of Emilia and Jenny, just because you don't agree with the system.
