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
help you do this and has a affiliation programme for groups suitable for younger stroke survivors.
