A weekly phone conversation with a trained volunteer can help a loved one, or a patient, to rebuild their life after stroke.

How does it work?

Weekly volunteer calls are free and available wherever you are in the UK. The person you are signing up will need to have their own landline or mobile and be able to commit to a regular call at the same time each week. They can pick what time and day are best for them so the calls fit into their routine. Find out more.

What do they receive?

- Trained volunteer support.
- A weekly call up to 30 minutes, for eight weeks.

We'll also signpost to other ways we can support recovery.

You can sign up someone else by filling out the form below. We'll then get in touch with them to discuss their needs and match them to a volunteer based on the things you've told us.
