The Stroke Association is the UK’s leading stroke charity. Its vision is for there to be fewer strokes, and for people affected by stroke to get the help they need to live the best life they can.
The charity provides specialist support, funds critical research and campaigns to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.
Stroke strikes every 5 minutes in the UK. It is a leading cause of death and disability, and costs the UK economy £26 billion annually. Yet there is enormous potential to prevent strokes from happening, and support those who experience stroke to recover.
The Stroke Association aims to be the trusted voice of stroke survivors and their families. The charity wants to drive better outcomes in stroke prevention, treatment, and lifelong support for everyone affected by stroke.
