*Life After Stroke Awards*

Do you know someone directly affected by stroke?

Whether they are a stroke survivor, carer or volunteer, let them know how remarkable they are and nominate them for a Life After Stroke Award.

As the only national charity solely concerned with helping everyone affected by stroke The Stroke Association recognises the huge and overwhelming impact a stroke can have.

Every day The Stroke Association witnesses people displaying immense courage and determination as they work to overcome the effects of stroke, as well as great patience and persistence in overcoming disabilities and relearning old skills.

The Stroke Association also sees people showing true compassion and commitment to encouraging others to rebuild their lives by providing them with the support they need. It is for this reason that The Stroke Association organises the Life After Stroke Awards.

The 2010 Awards will be held at Claridge’s in central London on 15 June 2010 and are an opportunity to formally recognise and celebrate the achievements of these remarkable people.

Those chosen to receive an award will be invited to stay in a central London hotel the evening before, and to attend the award ceremony at the venue to accept their award from a celebrity supporter of The Stroke Association.

There are eight award categories available for which nominations can be made.
