We work to build successful partnerships with organisations in order to better help all those affected by stroke. Here is a brief overview of some of our partnerships.

Stroke Alliance for Europe

Stroke Alliance for Europe

We are a member of the Stroke Alliance for Europe (SAFE), which is an alliance of European patient organisations dealing with stroke prevention and care. Sarah Belson, our International Lead, is a member of the SAFE board. 

SAFE represents a strong patient and carer voice, which calls on European Governments to take the lead in making stroke prevention a health priority.

Visit the SAFE website for more information on what they do. 

World Stroke Organization

World Stroke Organization

We are a member of the World Stroke Organization (WSO), the only global body solely focused on stroke.

The mission of WSO is to reduce the global burden of stroke through prevention, treatment and continuity of care.

Juliet Bouverie, CEO of the Stroke Association, is a member of the WSO board and a member of the Stroke Support Organisation (SSO) Committee of the WSO. The purpose of the committee is to support the strengthening of a global network of SSOs, particularly in low and middle-income countries.

Visit the WSO website for more information. 

Act FAST

A stroke can strike anyone, of any age, at any time and every second counts. We work closely with Public Health England to make sure as many people as possible know the most common signs of stroke and act FAST to get people the treatment they urgently need.

We support Public Health England's Act FAST campaign to raise awareness of the FAST test by distributing our own leaflets, posters and wallet cards at our awareness-raising events as well as sharing this vital test across our digital channels.

Find out more about the FAST test.

SameYou

SameYou was launched in March 2019 by Game of Thrones actor Emilia Clarke. The charity aims to transform recovery care for young adults following hospital treatment for brain injury and stroke.

The Stroke Association and SameYou are joining forces to invest in research to transform stroke rehabilitation services and tackle the stigma of stroke by raising awareness of this devastating condition among young adults.

UK Working Group on NCDs

The UK Working Group on Non-communicable Diseases draws attention to and encourages action to address the growing burden of NCDs as an international development priority. Read more about the working group by visiting their website.
