Project introduction

  • Provide insight and give feedback on how our services are delivered locally for people affected by stroke.
  • Support projects, and the development of plans and services across the area.
  • Provide advice about how best we can reach more people affected by stroke.
  • Provide new ideas for ways of working to meet local priorities. 

We are looking for people who:

  • Have lived experience of stroke whether this is as a stroke survivor, carer or family member who supports a stroke survivor.
  • With support can participate in group discussions, ask questions and be honest.
  • Are willing to be a voice for people affected by stroke in Suffolk and Northeast Essex.
