Living With Stroke

Living With Stroke“Living with Stroke” is not something that anyone would do by choice and it changes not only the lives of Stroke Survivors but also the lives of their family and friends and sometimes these changes can be everlasting.

However, across Wigan and Leigh, there is hope – Think Ahead offers support, information and advice to Stroke Survivors, Carers and their families through the Peer Support Service and Information Guidebook.

To compliment this successful service we are developing a series of short courses to help Stroke Survivors and their Carers come to terms with “Living with Stroke”.
