Support from local groups
We are a small group of stroke survivors and helpers. We meet every other Thursday between 10.30 and 2.30.
We spend part of our meetings chatting and catching up with news. We try to have a speaker or entertainer for the rest of the meeting. Our members appreciate being able to talk to other Stroke survivors, they know what it is like.
We will welcome new members. Please get in touch.
