Get stripey for stroke this October!
Yes, it’s almost that time of year again where normal attire goes out of the window!
Yes, it’s almost that time of year again where normal attire goes out of the window, and schools, hospitals, clubs and companies don something with stripes in support of stroke-affected people!
“Stripes for Stroke” is fast becoming one of the charity’s biggest fund-raising events, timed to co-incide with World Stroke Day: this year that falls on Wednesday 29 October, but when you hold a fund-raising event is up to you.
The only “rules” are for those taking part to wear something stripey that day… be it socks, tops, scarves, hats or trousers.
And while we welcome everyone using it as a chance to get sponsored or make a contribution, it’s also an important opportunity to spread the word about how to reduce one’s chances of having a stroke… as well as raise awareness of the services we offer to 1,400 stroke-affected people locally every year.
Last year, events took place at local schools, colleges and community hospitals… and we’d love to see an even wider spread of locations taking part this time around.
So, if you’d like to get stripey in a (very!) good cause this October, why not encourage your friends, fellow scholars or work colleagues to join in the fun? We can supply collection tins, posters and other support materials.
Just contact our office to let us know your plans and how we can help you make it a day to remember!
