Peer support

Benefits of peer support

Research has shown that people with long-term conditions, such as stroke, recover better and feel better with the mutual support of others in similar situations. 

You gain support, understanding and encouragement, a celebration of your achievements and sympathy in your setbacks. Everyone there knows that recovery from stroke is a long-term process.

Getting there

We know that getting to our groups and cafes can pose a problem. Very often a family member or friend is happy to provide a weekly lift and others may be able to use public transport. There are a number of community transport opportunities available in Bristol and South Gloucestershire which we can advise you on. Contact us for more information
