We’re here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke.
Have you seen our Rebuilding Lives TV ad?
Watch the TV advert or find out more about the six amazing stroke survivors it features.
We’re driven by our community.
Luna's story
I was 20 and studying at university when I had a stroke. The doctors thought I was drunk because of my age, but I wasn't, I was having a stroke.
Alisha's story
I couldn't read, write or walk after my stroke. I now have aphasia, which is like being trapped in a bubble. I have a head full of ideas and things I want to say, but I can’t say it.
Max's story
I had a stroke at my 7th birthday party. I got a pain on the right side of my head but I couldn’t cry because I lost my voice.
Nick's story
I used to be Chief Executive of the Institute of Financial Planning but in 2013 I had a major stroke which left me with aphasia, a communication difficulty. The Stroke Association helped me with my rehabilitation and ever since I have been fundraising for them.
Amber's story
I had a massive stroke after my first year at university. The doctors told me I’d be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, but I’m stubborn. I learnt to walk and talk again and I now volunteer for the Stroke Association.
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.
