The Alex Richardson Achiever of the Year award, sponsored by Slater and Gordon, celebrates the outstanding achievements of brain injury survivors. Our finalists represent thousands of others across the UK who day-in, day-out demonstrate admirable determination to prove that there can be life after brain injury.
Three inspirational people have been nominated for the award:
The finalists

James Neal
A passionate scuba diver whose devastating brain injury ended his career and almost wrecked his marriage, has been shortlisted for a national award.
Andy Nicholson
A Lincoln man who sustained a brain injury that left him partially blind, with severe coordination issues and trouble coping with leaving the house has been shortlisted for a national award after dedicating his time to help others in need.
The winner will be announced at a glittering ceremony in The Dorchester Hotel, London, on Friday 7 December 2018, where awards for Carer of the Year, Volunteer of the Year and the Stephen McAleese Outstanding Contribution to Headway will also be made.
