These half-day events will be a chance for stroke survivors to come and meet Different Strokes staff and volunteers, to hear from other stroke survivors, to take part in activities, and most importantly to engage with other survivors and to share stories.The third of these events will be in Cardiff on Friday 24th April.Our Community Events are relaxed, in-person gatherings for people affected by stroke; including stroke survivors, family members, carers, and supporters.They’re designed to create space for connection, conversation, and shared understanding. These events are about meeting others who understand life after stroke, finding out what support is available, and spending time in a welcoming, supportive environment.At each event, you can expect a mix of informal conversation, opportunities to hear from Different Strokes staff and volunteers, and time to connect with others at your own pace. Whether you’re newly affected by stroke or many years on, you’re welcome to come along, listen, ask questions, or simply be present.These events are also a chance to learn more about Different Strokes including our peer support, local groups, online services, and ways to stay connected beyond the day itself.Every Community Event is shaped by the people who attend.
