About the Secretariat

The Stroke Association provides specialist support, funds critical research, and campaigns to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives. Rebuilding lives after a stroke is a team effort. It takes the determination of people affected by stroke, the generosity of supporters and the dedication of the healthcare and research communities to get there. As the Secretariat, the Stroke Association brings together political stakeholders to bring about change for people who experience a stroke. The APPG gives members the opportunity to show their support for bettering stroke prevention, treatment, and outcomes.
