The group is a place where working age and younger stroke survivors can go to meet other people affected by stroke.

Karlyn – Stroke Survivor
“My name is Karlyn, and I live in Hebburn, South Tyneside. I had a stroke at age 37 in July 2020. Before that I was a fit and very active person. In the years before the stroke, I had taken part in London Moonwalk, London Marathon, Great South Run and Great North Run. I was very fit, so the stroke came as a real bolt out of the blue.
I am very happy to be setting up a new support group, with the help of my mum and dad, Karen and Mark. I hope being able to meet up with other stroke survivors will be a positive and life enhancing experience.”
