Celebrating the birthday of me - I've made it to 50!
Oxford Health Charity are supporting the Oxfordshire Stroke Rehabilitation Unit (OSRU) at Abingdon Community Hospital to help fund some new arm rehabilitation equipment to help aid recovery of our stroke survivors.

Story

Mum had a stroke in the summer of 2023 which was devastating to us all. The care she received at OSRU was incredible, and she is now back home living independently, and making progress every day. Instead of a birthday gift, perhaps you'd like to consider making a donation so that the team, as seen in the photo, can continue helping more stroke victims recovery the best they can.

The Oxfordshire Stroke Rehabilitation Unit (OSRU) at Abingdon Community Hospital provides specialist rehabilitation for people post-stroke. Over 100,000 people have a stroke each year in the UK and common consequences are people developing weakness in one arm and leg.

At OSRU we work hard to provide the best evidence-based rehabilitation we can, to help stroke survivors regain as much independence as possible. Our ability to do this is significantly improved by access to up-to-date equipment and resources, and for that we need your help!

We are looking to raise £7500 to purchase new equipment which will enable our stroke survivors to use their affected arms more independently, and practise their exercises at higher intensity. Both these factors are known to improve peoples chances of recovery, and we would be hugely grateful for any contribution you can make towards our cause.
