How we work
We support people to adjust to life after stroke
Our vision, mission & values
Ours is very much a collaborative organisation, harnessing the energy, knowledge and commitment of enthusiastic members, staff, and volunteers - many of whom have themselves been affected by a stroke.
What we do is underpinned by our mission, vision and values.
