The Stroke Association Stroke Club affiliation scheme

Most Stroke Clubs are independent organisations, which provide support and activities to people affected by stroke in their local area.

The aim of The Stroke Association's Stroke Club affiliation scheme is to enable independent Stroke Clubs and The Stroke Association to work together in partnership to support one another. For The Stroke Association, the scheme is the main way we support Stroke Clubs to support local people. For Stroke Clubs, the scheme is an opportunity to be part of a network of over 300 clubs and to access a range of benefits.
