Stroke recoveries at risk
Covid-19 has had a huge impact on all of us. Our report shows that the recoveries of stroke survivors across the UK have been particularly badly affected.
We’re driven by our community
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.
Krishna's story
Sometimes you need a bit of support. If there’s somebody you can talk to outside of your family, it helps.
Bill's story
I had my stroke two weeks after I retired from the police force. I've used My Stroke Guide as part of my general recovery and it's helped me to make sense of my stroke.
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.
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.
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.
