Stroke Project

We provide person-centred, long-term support services to those affected by stroke and their families. We also raise awareness of stroke and cardiovascular disease to help prevent strokes.

Colourful pigeons

We are here to help anyone in Hackney who has had a stroke to improve their physical, social and emotional wellbeing and get back to a fulfilling life. We offer lots of different useful services, get in touch and we will help you find the right ones for you. We also provide support to carers of stroke survivors to promote their wellbeing and their caring role.

Our team will contact you to discuss your needs:
