Thank you for the amazing support you've already given to stroke survivors. You're part of a network of people across the UK who understand the difference research makes for stroke survivors and their families.

Because of research funded by supporters like you, more people now survive stroke than ever before. But there is more to do. Every five minutes, someone in the UK has a stroke. Stroke continues to impact lives, leaving people unable to walk, talk or even smile.

That's why we’re asking you to join our extraordinary team of Research Partners today. By strengthening our numbers, and expanding our investment in research, we can form a powerful movement that can and will help people rebuild their lives after stroke.

Dr Terry Quinn's research

Problems with memory, mood and thinking are among the most devastating effects of stroke, but they’re often not assessed or recognised on stroke wards. We’ve supported Dr Terry Quinn’s research to develop five-minute tests to assess memory problems to support stroke survivors like Ruth, who had two strokes when she was just 30. Terry’s research could help us to recognise these problems earlier, enabling more stroke survivors to get the support they need early after their stroke to help them rebuild their lives.

Ruth says, “my strokes have left me with major memory and thinking problems that hold me back every single day. Please keep helping the Stroke Association to fund research like this. Survivors like me still have hopes and dreams for the future – for me, it’s finding a job, or living a bit more independently one day.”

Become a Research Partner today, and help make more discoveries that change the lives of people like Ruth.
