STROKE CASH AVAILABLE

AS many of your readers will know, stroke is devastating, changing people’s lives in the blink of an eye.

The condition is a leading cause of disability, and many stroke survivors and their families’ financial situations are severely affected as a result.

At the Stroke Association, we support people to make the best possible recovery following a stroke.

Our means-tested Life After Stroke Grants help stroke survivors and their families who are sometimes facing the most challenging time of their lives.

Life After Stroke Grants provide a one-off payment of up to £300 to fund vital home or personal equipment, or by funding support to become active after stroke.

Our Grants have been used to contribute towards items such as mobility aids, kitchen appliances or specialist aids, or household furniture.

Last year, over 1,100 people across the UK used a Life After Stroke Grant to help rebuild their lives, and we want to support as many stroke survivors as we can.

Applications for Life After Stroke Grants must be applied for via the Stroke Association, by a health or social care professional, or another charity.

To find out more about applying for a Grant, call our Stroke Helpline on 0303 303 3100, visit stroke.org.uk/ grants or email us at grants.external@ stroke.org.uk
