Volunteering in the East of England
There are many volunteering opportunities in the East of England and we would like to hear from anyone who wants to find out more.
Some of the roles that we are looking to recruit for are Administrative and Office volunteers, Information and Stroke Awareness Presentation volunteers, Life After Stroke volunteers and Fundraising volunteers.
Our Life After Stroke services include Communication groups in various areas, Information Advice and Support services and a Stroke Prevention service in West Norfolk. If you feel that you could help out in one of these areas do please get in touch.
For more information please contact our Regional Centre on 01284 760006 or email EastAnglia@stroke.org.uk
We have also started a network of The Stroke Association voluntary stroke groups in the region. Currently these groups operate in Colchester, Felixstowe, Stowmarket, Ipswich, Attleborough, Maldon, Downham Market, Peterborough and Halstead and new volunteers are always welcome.
We are hoping to start new groups in a number of areas in the region including Halesworth/Beccles area, Gt Yarmouth and Waveney area and Eye, Suffolk and need people who would like to form part of the organising groups, especially organisers, chairpersons, people who would be willing to do some of the administrative tasks, people who could look after the group finances and also volunteers who would like to help in the group setting.
If you feel you can help out please email our Long-term Support co-ordinators.
Our Fundraising team organise many events throughout the East of England where participants and helpers are always needed. Can you get involved? If you feel that you can please email Tim Edwards or Tam Marshall or contact them on 01284 749 650 or 01284 760 006.

Media volunteers
Help us raise awareness of stroke and the work of The Stroke Association by telling others about your experience of stroke. Media volunteers are people who have had a stroke, and their families and friends. Find out more about becoming a media volunteer for the East of England by emailing the media team.
