Different Strokes is a stroke charity run by younger stroke survivors for younger stroke survivors.

Each year there are 100,000 strokes in the UK; 1 in 4 of these occurs in somebody of working age or younger. Different Strokes promotes independent stroke recovery, so younger stroke survivors can reclaim their lives.

Different Strokes is run by younger stroke survivors for younger stroke survivors. We have personal experience of the realities of life after stroke.

We recognise that the Different Strokes community of younger stroke survivors and family members are the experts in stroke recovery and rehabilitation with first-hand knowledge of the issues and challenges facing families after stroke.
