We provide tailored support to tens of thousands of stroke survivors each year. This support includes one-to-one and group support, funding vital scientific research into stroke prevention, acute treatment, recovery and long-term care, and campaigning to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke. 

We’re here for stroke survivors and their loved ones, from the moment they enter the new and frightening post-stroke world, supporting them every step of the way as they find their strength and their way back to life.

It’s only thanks to the generosity of our supporters and donors that we can provide vital support.

We’re working to improve the diversity of our people. We know that individuality leads to a richer experience for our people and better support for all those affected by stroke.

We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. We’re particularly looking to increase the number of applications from those with lived experience of stroke, and those from under-represented communities.
