We run 2 centres for Stroke Survivors at Alsager and Crewe we are looking for funding for the cost of the weekly charge for the room and towards a speech therapist to visit each location once a month Our requirements are to improve the well-being of Stroke survivors and to support their carers. To enable this, we have access to a room and kitchen for 2 hours per week at Alsager and Crewe but we need to be able to fund this facility. We also need to fund a Speech Therapist each month and both locations
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The benefits to our Stroke Survivors and carers are many fold: To avoid isolation, to improve their mental health, to support their carers, to enable their improvement to speech via a registered Speech Therapist, to enable exercise via group sessions with the Stay Strong team who are supported by Chesire East Council.
Steps to get it done:
This is a vital service to the community which if we did not provide it would mean these Stoke Survivors would not get the support that they need

Hi Everyone You have all been so kind to enable us to keep on the 2 groups for the next 12 months and to support us with specialist help.
