Stroke Association is the UK’s leading stroke charity. In Northern Ireland 37,000 people are living with the effects of stroke. Many stroke survivors and their families rely on our stroke support services for much needed emotional and practical support.

We work in partnership with all five Health and Social Care Trusts in Northern Ireland.  As well as lobbying for prevention and improved stroke care we provide the following direct services

  • A Stroke Recovery Service for advice and support which helps stroke survivors work towards regaining independence
  • Speech and Language Therapy for stroke survivors who have a communication disability as a result of a stroke
  • A network of peer support groups throughout Northern Ireland.

Description of duties

The Committee is a consultative and advisory body which advises management, officers and Stroke Association Trustees on business and strategic issues related to research, the prevention of stroke, and the care and support needed by people affected by stroke in Northern Ireland.
