Our Volunteers
Volunteering is the foundation of Different Strokes. It takes a special person to dedicate the precious commodity of time for no financial gain- simply because they want to make a difference to others. Without our community of 100+ committed volunteers, thousands of families affected by stroke would have faced the long road to recovery alone, un-informed and without the comfort blanket of understanding that our community provides.
Our volunteers are involved in almost all of our services. From co-ordinating groups, putting together our information packs, fundraising to answering the phone and raising awareness of younger stroke.
If you would like to find out about volunteering opportunities in your area call us on 0345 130 7172 or email info@differentstrokes.co.uk
