Bristol After Stroke is an independent charity helping people in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and surrounding areas to rebuild their lives. We provide information, practical support, friendship and counselling in the months and years following a stroke.
Our Stroke Support Group Volunteers provide help and support to our Group Leaders and group members at our weekly stroke support groups.
