Stroke Association Values

We are human 
We’ve seen the full range of human emotions that stroke brings out. The devastation, despair, shock and indignity. We put ourselves in the shoes of the people we support and recognise their unique needs, experiences, strengths and weaknesses with kindness. And we embrace this to achieve the best possible outcomes for stroke survivors, our charity and our partners.

We believe in better 

We’re optimistic for the future. For all people living with the devastating effects of stroke, and for our charity. We are driven by a desire for improvement, however big or small. We use real life stories to celebrate achievement and inspire hope for a better future. To learn from mistakes and move forward with greater strength.

We give our all 

Our resolve to make a difference motivates everyone we work with. We aim to inspire stroke survivors to muster the determination and strength they need to make their best recovery. We encourage our colleagues to give their all, moving people to support us however they can. By giving our all we can continue to empower people affected by stroke to retake control of their lives and speak up for themselves. And champion their needs when they can’t.

We say it how it is 

We set realistic but challenging goals for ourselves and the people we support. We listen to what matters most to people, so we can deliver what we said we would. We aren’t afraid to show people the devastation that stroke causes and what people can do to help those affected live their best life after stroke. 

We're always looking for talented people to join our team. Find out what opportunities there are to work or volunteer with us.
