Support and information for people affected by stroke

Stroke Association

The Stroke Association are still here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. Alongside Northern Ireland Chest, Heart and Stroke we are offering a joint support package for stroke survivors and their families and carers during the Covid-19 emergency. We are continuing to support people remotely and offer:

• A family support service
• Financial support through our grants service
• Weekly support or check-in calls from staff or trained volunteers
• Online peer support calls and groups
• Stroke specific counselling 
• Speech and language support for people with communication difficulties
• Access to information and advice about coping with the effects of stroke

• You can access our joint support package by calling 028 9032 0184 (Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm) or emailing strokesupportni@nichs.org.uk. Your details will be taken and a member of the Family Support Team will call you to discuss what support you need.
