Stroke Clubs are local groups for those affected by stroke, including stroke survivors and carers. They
aim to provide a regular meeting place for people to come together and share their experiences as well as opportunities to
take part in a programme of activities.
However we cannot offer any guarantees over wether or not a particular group is suitable for younger stroke
survivors. Please contact your local organiser. Alternatively you may wish to start up your own group. 2nd chance can
