We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.
We provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.

We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. And we’re particularly looking to increase the number of applications from those with lived experience of stroke and those from under-represented communities.
Every five minutes, stroke destroys lives. Help us rebuild them and join our team.

About the Organisation
Established in 2006, The organisation is a UK-based, international charity dedicated to bringing solar power to rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa.
Currently, there are nearly 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa living without electricity. When the sun goes down at night, families are reliant on dangerous and expensive forms of lighting, such as candles and kerosene lamps.
The organisation is pioneering innovative enterprise programmes that tackle poverty and climate change by providing access to clean, safe solar light to homes, clinics, and schools. To date, they have distributed over 2.3 million lights, directly impacting over 11 million people. Families across the continent can now rely on safe, renewable solar lights as the sun sets, but there is still a long way to go to achieve universal access to energy, and we are stepping up our efforts to ensure communities otherwise left behind will have access to solar energy, creating instant sustainable change for people and the planet.
