A stroke is a brain attack. It happens when the blood supply to part of your brain is cut off.
Rebuilding lives after a stroke is a team effort. It takes the determination of stroke survivors and carers, the generosity of supporters and the dedication of the healthcare and research communities to get there.
The Stroke Association provides specialist support, funds critical research and campaigns to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.
The charity was founded in 1899 as the National Association for the Prevention of Consumption and other forms of Tuberculosis. It became the Stroke Association in 1992 and celebrated its centenary in 1999.
The Stroke Association believes everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke, so it works with the stroke community to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support.
