When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt. We’re here because we believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And our specialist support, funding of critical research and campaigning are only possible with your support. Join the Team Stroke community and help us reach even more people who need us.
