Stroke is common, devastating and life changing. Approximately 110,000 people in England have a first or recurrent stroke each year, and a staggering 25% of strokes occur in those under the age of 65.
Although most people survive, stroke is the single largest cause of disability in a community setting, with survivors frequently struggling with mobility, speech, depression, cognitive problems, and activities of daily living such as domestic tasks and dressing.
