Photo competition
Volunteers' Week 2009 - Photography Competition
To mark Volunteers' Week 2009, The Stroke Association ran a competition to find the best photograph demonstrating the value and meaning of volunteering.
From all the entries received, five photographs made it onto the winning shortlist which are showcased below.
All five winning entries received a framed copy of their photograph (donated by Snappy Snaps) and a prize kindly donated by Next. The photographs are also now proudly displayed at The Stroke Association's head office.
 | Ralph Mason took this photograph of his wife on her 92nd birthday with her carer. The carer had found some hats to put on to mark this special occasion and to cheer themselves up. |
 | Emsworth Stroke Club prove that limited mobility is no barrier when it comes to joining in. This photograph was taken on a group outing on a harbour boat tour. |
 | The members of Medway Stroke Club enjoyed a day of pampering thanks to the students at Mid Kent College, which included hairdressing, massage and manicures. |
 | The East Midlands Volunteer and Stroke Club Conference 2009 brought together volunteers across the region for training and some fun. These two never stopped laughing during the team building drumming workshop. |
 | Grimsby Long Term Support Group have their own garden with nesting boxes, planters and a wooden wishing well built by stroke survivors, supported by volunteers. |
