Support groups and networks
If you would like to connect with other people affected by stroke, there are a number of in-person and online support groups available.
We are also connected to several networks and groups that ensure expert knowledge and lived experience is always at the centre of our work. You can find out more about groups associated with us by visiting the pages linked below.
