The Stroke Project is a Hackney based service that provides long
term, person centred support to stroke survivors’ and their
families. Finding yourself alone with a disability after community
rehabilitation services is a frightening time. We are on hand to
alleviate some of these fears. Viewing recovery in the long term, we
have the privilege of witnessing our members progressing towards
achieving personal aims, great or small. We also work within the
community to raise awareness of stroke and help people identify and
reduce their risk.
Our vision is
To improve the wellbeing and quality of life of people
affected by stroke through community based, long term support
and integration to social life.
To improve awareness and prevent strokes through
highlighting and managing risk factors, providing advice and
support. Services currently available in the boroughs of City,

know I have grown by communicating with people in the group. We
meet and we share experiences.
And by sharing experiences, yours doesn’t seem so weighty”
