There are 100,000 strokes in the UK each year with 1 in 4 happening to somebody of working age or younger. Different Strokes aims to promote independent stroke recovery and help these younger stroke survivors reclaim their lives.
Different Strokes is run by younger stroke survivors for younger stroke survivors. They have personal experience of the realities of life after stroke.
The Different Strokes community of younger stroke survivors and family members are the experts in stroke recovery and rehabilitation with first-hand knowledge of the issues and challenges facing families after stroke.
They have several support and exercise groups in West Yorkshire, which you can find on their website.
They also have a regional co-ordinator, Geoff Render, who you can call on 07434958024 or email geoff.render@differentstrokes.co.uk
