Rupert had a rare type of stroke when he was just 42. It happened as the UK was going into the second Covid lockdown. He felt isolated and couldn’t get the information he needed. Then he found the Online Community.
Stroke can change your life in an instant. And it can be hard to find people who understand.
In this video you can hear Rupert talk about the people he’s met on the forum, what they’ve meant to him and the support he felt.
"From 18 year olds to 90 year olds. People from all different backgrounds, whether they're students, unemployed, or barristers. It's sort of like a community in your pocket..."
Rupert, stroke survivor
However long you’ve been living with stroke, our Online Community is here to support you day and night.
