THANK YOU to the lovely staff of the Tesco Extra Store at Bullsbridge, for displaying Hillingdon Stroke Support Group leaflets on their Customer Services counter and notice board!

Pictured are our volunteers Steve and Cath, with Tesco's Hayes Community Champion Narmitha, and manager Sam.

This branch has also donated a Gift Card towards the Group's party next month!

We know that stroke survivors can sometimes experience low mood as they readjust to the 'New Normal'.

If you have been affected in this way, don't suffer in silence.

Were you discharged from the hospital in the last 12 months? Did it take longer for you to leave than it should have?

We want to learn what happened – and what could have gone better.

Take our survey to tell us more. https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/hwehospitaldischarge/

A huge thank you to Wenzel's the bakers!

Every week the staff donate any bread or baked goods that they haven't been able to sell, to Hillingdon Stroke Support Group. Our members are very grateful for these donations. Anything that our members can't use is delivered to a nearby charity, to support THEIR members.

Thank you Wenzel's the Bakers from TWO Charitable groups!

Did you know that smoking increases your risk of having a stroke by 300% ?

We know that a high cholesterol level can increase our chances of having a stroke. That fact alone is a good motivator for keeping our level of cholesterol under control!

Our thanks to the National Health Service for the information on the photo.

We always remind Facebook friends that a stroke can happen at any age. This is the experience of 16 year old Coco who is now planning a bright future.
