Around a third of people who have a stroke die within a year, a third are left with serious disabilities and the remainder make a good recovery. The Stroke Association is a national charity which provides practical support to people who have had strokes, their families and carers. We campaign, educate and inform to increase knowledge of stroke at all levels of society. We run telephone helplines, provide publications and welfare grants, and offer information and education services around the country. We also fund and promote research which aims to increase knowledge of stroke prevention and treatment.
