What inspired me to volunteer? It’s so rewarding!

How did you become a volunteer with Bristol After Stroke?

"About six or seven years ago, I had recently retired and felt like I needed something to do. I had friends who were volunteering at the group… they invited me to go along and I’m still here!"

What does it add to your life?

“It’s a lovely group… such nice people and full of laughter. I really enjoy it… it’s the focus of my week."

Would you recommend volunteering to others?

Absolutely! It’s a very rewarding thing, helping people – and it does get you out and involved with others. 

We’re recruiting!

Adds Lucy Stockall, our Stroke Volunteer Co-ordinator, “If you have time to come along for a few hours on Thursday afternoons, we’d love to hear from you. 

“Through volunteering, you can give back to the stroke community and support people along their stroke journey in a friendly and positive environment.

“Most of all, it’s a hugely rewarding and enjoyable experience!”
