About the host organisation
Hosted by: Pennine stroke support group
Organisation Profile: We're here to support people to rebuild their lives after a stroke. We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after a stroke.
We provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign 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 stroke survivors and carers, the generosity of supporters and the dedication of the healthcare and research communities to get there.
To help the recovery of stroke survivors we provide information, support and advice. Our key areas of work include:
Support services
Our support services help hundreds of thousands of people through one of the most frightening experiences of their lives and build a life after a stroke. Our support services include but are not limited to emotional support and communication support.
Information
Our information is based on accurate and up-to-date evidence. We ask stroke survivors and their families, as well as medical experts, to help us when putting our information together.
Research
Our research helps improve treatments, care and rehabilitation - saving thousands of lives and helping stroke survivors make the best recovery possible.
Fundraising
Through our busy events schedule, our fundraisers work nationally and with local communities to raise much-needed funds to support stroke survivors.
Campaigning
We are the force for change. By working with people affected by stroke, we drive improvements in stroke care by creating campaigns like our A New Era for Stroke campaign, which led to the National Stroke Programme in England.
