As the only national charity solely concerned with helping everyone affected by stroke, The Stroke Association recognises the huge and overwhelming impact a stroke can have.

Every day The Stroke Association witnesses people displaying immense courage and determination as they work to overcome the effects of stroke, as well as great patience and persistence in overcoming disabilities and relearning old skills.

The Stroke Association also sees people showing true compassion and commitment encouraging others to rebuild their lives by providing them with the support they need.

It is for this reason that The Stroke Association organises the Life After Stroke Awards - an opportunity to formally recognise and celebrate the achievements of these remarkable people.

The 2009 Awards were hosted by DJ Neil ‘Doctor’ Fox in Claridge's Hotel on 23 June. 

Celebrity guests included TV presenter Adrian Chiles, and CBBC’s Steve Backshall, Strictly Come Dancing duo Bruce Forsyth and Brendan Cole, Silent Witness’s William Gaminara and The Bill’s Graham Cole, acclaimed businesswoman Karren Brady and GMTV’s Nick Ede.

Thank you to our corporate supporters - Next and Bunches, whose generous donations made the award ceremony so special.
