Stroke clubs in the West Midlands
Stroke clubs provide a meeting place for people who have had a stroke and their carers to come together and share experiences with people who understand what they are going through.
Clubs meet in many different places, such as church halls, commmunity centres, sports halls or the local pub. Venues must have parking facilities, be accessible and have space for activities. Refreshments are always available.
