Save research. Rebuild lives.
The pandemic has hit stroke research hard. We need your help to save it.
We’re driven by our community
Ronnie's story
I absolutely felt like I was dying. Without the Stroke Association's research I wouldn't be stood here talking to you now.
Erin's story
When I called the Stroke Association Helpline I was having difficulties coping with a lot of things. It was a friendly voice at the other end of the phone. They helped me accept that this has happened to me and this is now who I am.
Heidi's story
On My Stroke Guide you can talk to other people and ask them questions, which is reassuring. Chatting to other stroke survivors on the forums has helped me to improve my reading, writing and confidence.
Baz's story
I woke up and everything was spinning. I lost my mobility, vision and speech. For months afterwards I felt horrible. The work it took me to get into the position I’m in now is unbelievable.
Simon's story
My mum’s stroke left her unable to speak or understand. Please have difficult conversations with your loved ones so you know what their wishes are.
Alaire's story
My volunteering helps me to focus on something other than myself. The role gives me some purpose and makes me feel useful.
