Prevention
The charity campaigns to support primary and secondary stroke prevention.
Stroke Association launched the Life After Stroke campaign in May 2012, which aims to support people in their stroke recovery. The campaign is outlined in the Struggling to recover report and features key data from the Daily Life survey, the UK's largest ever survey from stroke survivors. This campaign is supported by the Stroke Survivors’ Declaration, a document informing survivors on what they should expect from health and social care.
In 2011, the charity was involved in the "Hardest Hit" campaign against cuts to benefits for people with disabilities.
