Stroke Association

Every day in the UK, another 240 people wake up to the catastrophic impact of a stroke. Anyone—mums, dads, grandparents, young people, even children—can be left unable to move, see, speak, or even swallow. It’s a traumatic, life-changing event that robs survivors and their families of the life they knew. With strength, determination and the right support, recovery is possible. The Stroke Association is the only charity in the UK providing life-long support for all stroke survivors and their families. We provide tailored support to tens of thousands of stroke survivors each year, fund vital scientific research, and campaign to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke.
