Why Sing for Stroke?
Every day in the UK, another 240 people wake up to the catastrophic impact of a stroke.
It's common for people to have communication difficulties after a stroke.
Stroke survivors might not be able to read, find their words or string together sentences.
This can feel very isolating and can make it harder for them to do things on their own, like going to the shops.
Speech and language therapy can help. We've also found through our Stroke Support groups and research, that singing can help too.
By taking part in Sing for Stroke and fundraising for us, you’ll be helping us delivery our vital work.
