About our cause

Different Strokes provides a unique, free service to younger stroke survivors throughout the United Kingdom. Our services and the number of stroke survivors benefiting from them have grown dramatically since we were formed in 1996. We are run by stroke survivors for stroke survivors, for active self help and mutual support.

Different Strokes helps stroke survivors of working age to optimise their recovery, take control of their own lives and regain as much independence as possible by offering \'rehabilitative services\', information and advice.

Different Strokes currently does this by: organising a national network of weekly exercise classes; providing practical, easy to use information for the recovering stroke survivor; offering a \'StrokeLine\' telephone service so that younger stroke survivors can speak to other younger stroke survivors; keeping stroke survivors informed, through newsletters, an interactive website and other means, of developments relevant to them.
