Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
At Different Strokes, we are committed to ensuring that all stroke survivors have access to high-quality peer support to help them to reclaim their lives. We believe that everyone has the right to live without fear or prejudice regardless of disability, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, social class, or religion.
We aim to nurture a culture that is based on respect and that values diversity and the great benefits that arise from being part of a diverse community and organisation. This culture runs through our work as an organisation but also through the individuals who represent our organisation.
We are passionate that equality and inclusion should not be a tick-box exercise. We actively seek to drive change where we feel it is required and are committed to continuously listen to our community on how we can further improve.
Your feedback matters
Stroke survivors and their families will always remain at the heart of our thinking and decision-making.
