Local and online stroke support groups
Stroke support groups are a safe and supportive space to try things again, to learn more about stroke and self-care and to build your confidence as you rebuild your life after stroke. Stroke support groups meet in different ways, some are meeting face to face, others are providing support online. To get support and meet other people affected by stroke, click on the tabs below to see what’s available in your local area and online.

It seems there are no locally commissioned Stroke Association services available in your area, but we can help you to access further sources of information and support:
- Search for clubs and groups in your area.
- Call our Stroke Helpline on 0303 30 33 100, or email helpline@stroke.org.uk. If you would like to talk to someone who understands the effects of stroke, we can help. Our team can talk to you about stroke, its effects, and what help and support is available. We can also signpost you to services provided by other organisations. The Stroke Helpline is open Monday, Thursday and Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm, Tuesday and Wednesday from 8.00am to 6.00pm and Saturday from 10.00am to 1.00pm.
- Log on to My Stroke Guide. Our trusted online stroke support tool has been developed alongside stroke survivors and carers. It includes easy-to-read information, advice and videos, and our online community can connect you with other people affected by stroke.
