Bristol After Stroke We are an independent local charity helping people in Bristol and South Gloucestershire rebuild their lives after stroke. You may also refer by phone .

We offer a unique combination of practical, social, emotional and psychological support to stroke-affected people and their carers. Bristol After Stroke works across Bristol and South Gloucestershire supporting people affected by stroke. We are a local charity that can help you through some of the difficult times that you may face after a stroke. Stroke usually occurs suddenly, it has been described like an earthquake in the brain. It is also like an earthquake in the lives of those affected, lives can be turned upside down in a minute. Our professional staff and volunteers are there to offer guidance, support & counselling to you and your family during rehabilitation and we understand the many problems you may face as a consequence of the stroke. We will focus on the issues that are important to you helping you to re-build your life after a stroke. We support carers as well as the person who has had the stroke. We take especial interest in emotional wellbeing following a stroke as this can have a significant influence on your recovery and rehabilitation. We think everyone should be offered help to overcome emotional & psychological problems following stroke. The services we provide are free, although we make a small charge to those attending our groups as a contribution to some of our costs. Stroke groups provide support, encouragement and understanding to those recovering from a stroke. If you would like help and support from Bristol After Stroke, please contact the office on 0117 964 7657 or email [email protected]

Healthcare professionals may also refer patients to us using our referral form which is available on the website or by email.

🎉 We are ecstatic to announce that our Charity Walk has raised an incredible £34,000, with money still coming in!

Every person who walked, donated, volunteered or supported the event played a part in this achievement – thank you! Your generosity will help Bristol After Stroke continue supporting stroke survivors and their families across Bristol and South Gloucestershire.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our fantastic sponsors, Cabot Circus, Evelyn Partners and Wuppie’s Raw Pet Supplies. Your support has been invaluable, and we are incredibly grateful. Thanks to your sponsorship, all event costs were covered, meaning every penny raised can go directly towards supporting our services and the stroke-affected people we help.

A special thank you also to the John James Bristol Foundation for providing £10,000 in matched funding for the second year running. Your generosity has made a tremendous difference and helped us achieve this incredible total.
