THE Stroke Association says it has made more than £4,000 available to stroke survivors and their carers in the South-West since July through Life After Stroke grants.
The grants can pay for simple but vital items, such as a washing machine or a microwave, which people can’t afford to buy themselves, or respite care.
For more information see www.stroke.org.uk/appeal or call 0300-3300740.
