Join our Stroke Recovery Group, where we aim to create a centralised space for people in recovery or with caring responsibilities. We will collaborate with services to offer help with benefits and welfare rights, carer support, and any of the issues highlighted by group members. We also promote volunteering opportunities with our community project partners. Together, we can navigate the recovery process and establish a strong support network. We are a community support organisation started by a family with personal experience

Voices of the Community
"I worked in the care sector for years, services and groups like this are absolutely essential to people's well-being and sense of hope for the future."

"I've worked with some of the team on different projects previously and can't wait for the group to kick off. In the past year, 2 of my uncles have had strokes, which have severely impacted their day-to-day lives."

"I first met some members of the team about 20 years ago at Sunny G Radio. It’s been wonderful to see what they have achieved since then. I am absolutely confident that this company will be a success. The area truly needs something new, and the timing couldn’t be better."

"I recently spent months looking for places to take my Father after his release from the hospital. When I say the options were limited, I was completely shocked at the lack of provision available to stroke survivors after hospital release. This shouldn't be left to local people to try and fix; thankfully, the guys are stepping up when needed.
