We’re here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke.
We’re driven by our community
Dr Sreeman Andole's story
I’ve been a Consultant Stroke Physician, Clinical Lead and Director for Stroke Medicine for over eight years. I’m passionate about patient care, committed to involving patients in stroke improvement plans and dedicated to driving up standards.
Suzi's story
When my husband, Paul, came home from hospital a few weeks after his stroke, I didn’t know how we’d manage. I simply didn’t know what to do.
Chris's story
I’ve been in stroke research for over 20 years. Right now, i'm working with paramedics to improve how we get people the right emergency stroke treatments as soon as possible, which can make a big difference to their recovery.
Tristan's story
My stroke left me paralysed on my right side and in constant pain. But I wanted to be able to walk my daughter down the aisle so I was determined to get moving again.
Phillipa's story
I was having a stroke but my daughter, Beth, recognised the signs straight away by using the FAST test. Because Beth reacted so quickly I was able to get help sooner and make a better recovery.
Emma's story
I didn’t get the right access to the support I needed. I didn’t have access to any therapy or anything. I only had my family for support.
