The Stroke Association are the UK's leading stroke charity, delivering amazing, life-changing support to over 70,000 stroke survivors and their families each year.Without people raising funds for the Stroke Association they could not provide the support and research that they do. Your donations are so important to rebuilding lives after stroke.

My father suffered a devastating stroke a number of years ago that completely changed his life and affected those around him. Stroke is an instant and very dramatic change, one minute life is good, the next it’s not. Speed is key in reaching a stroke victim, my father was at home on his own and the damage was done. The doctors and nurses were amazing but as with most things, money needs to be continually raised to make a difference. I know at the moment lots of people have donated to a Ukrainian charity, me included, but we mustn’t forget lots of charities closer to home still need to raise money. 

For the first £1000 raised I will be personally matching £1 for £1. 

Where your support goes:- £80 could allow a a stroke survivor to attend a six week communication computer course- £199 could pay for one hour of Helpline activity- £310 could pay for the initial training and expenses of a befriending volunteer- £1,685 could pay for a fitness coach to provide stroke specific exercise rehabilitation- £40,000 funds a Lectureship Award for stroke doctor, nurse, therapist or scientist for a year- £450,000 fully funds a Priority Programme Award in haemorrhagic stroke, vascular dementia and stroke, or the psychological and cognitive impact of stroke, which would run over the course of 5 years
